The last time SpinLaunch tested its suborbital accelerator and provided an update on it was in late 2022, nearly 3 years ago. In the time since then, we’ve heard practically nothing with the exception of issues related to finding a location to start building its larger Orbital Accelerator. That was until recently, when it was confirmed that a lease was signed for a future launch site in Alaska.
Despite changes in leadership, a lack of updates, and a shift of focus to a new satellite constellation, it seems that SpinLaunch is still working on an Orbital Accelerator. For context, this company has been aiming to build a kinetic launch system that spins payloads at thousands of miles per hour before releasing them into the atmosphere.
