About
Moonshot Space is a space-defense startup developing an electro-magnetic kinetic accelerator — a ground-based facility that launches capsules into space at extremely high speeds, similar to a cannon. The system uses a tube with a coil that generates an electromagnetic wave to accelerate the capsule up to 8 km/s, allowing it to escape Earth’s gravity. Once outside the atmosphere, the capsule opens, and a propulsion system inserts the payload into orbit. This method is not suitable for human launch but can carry certain materials capable of withstanding such extreme speeds. The company’s technology focuses on launch system innovation, with potential applications in defense, space infrastructure, and strategic payload delivery.
