In brief
Longshot Space Technology aims to send cargo to low Earth orbit using ground-based gun systems. Longshot Space Technology plans reusable ground-based gun systems to launch cargo to low Earth orbit after hypersonic testing. Originally reported by TokenPost.
Longshot's Ground-Based Accelerator
Longshot Space Technology develops a reusable ground-based pneumatic accelerator for hypersonic testing and cargo delivery.
“For decades, access to space has been constrained by the economics of rockets”
Hypersonic Testing Progress
Longshot has reached Mach 4.2 and completed over 100 shots using its ground-based accelerator system.
Future Cargo Launches
Longshot aims to send nonhuman cargo to low Earth orbit using reusable ground-based gun systems by 2027.
The bottom line
Longshot Space Technology plans reusable ground-based gun systems to launch cargo to low Earth orbit after hypersonic testing.
