SpinLaunch
Builds kinetic launch systems using ground-based centrifuges and develops the Meridian LEO broadband constellation for enterprise communications
About
SpinLaunch develops kinetic launch systems using ground-based electric centrifuges to accelerate payloads to hypersonic velocities. The company operates a 33-meter suborbital accelerator at Spaceport America in New Mexico and manufactures the S-200 satellite bus, a 200 kg-class platform ruggedized to withstand high G-forces during kinetic launch, while providing qualification testing for NASA, DoD, and commercial customers.
The company is developing Meridian Space, a LEO broadband constellation of 250 microsatellites designed to deliver over two terabits per second of global capacity using electronically steered antennas, 5G NTN protocols, and bent-pipe payloads for enterprise markets including maritime, aviation, and national security. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Long Beach, California.
