The moment a 大規模な slingshot-like accelerator that hurls payloads into the 成層圏 with more 軍隊 than a ロケット／急騰する 開始する，打ち上げる has 覆うd the way for a unique method to send 衛星s into low Earth 軌道 - and the feat could happen by 2026.

The suborbital accelerator, which stands four feet taller than the Statue of Liberty, features a 回転／交替ing arm that moves at 5,000 miles per hour and shoots 発射物s 25,000 feet above Earth’s surface.

The 施設 is the brainchild of SpinLaunch, a company 目的（とする）ing to 供給する 平易な 接近 to space, which is 存在 developed to send 440-続けざまに猛撃する 衛星s? 200,000 feet above Earth's surface.

The 実験（する） 含むd payloads from 航空宇宙局, Airbus, Cornell University and 衛星 製造者 生産（高） Space and was 行為／行うd to see if such items could withstand 10,000 g - a ロケット／急騰する carrying humans to space only has three g because the 団体／死体 can only stand so much acceleration at a time.

G-軍隊, or gravitational 軍隊 同等（の）, is the 手段 of 軍隊 and acceleration of an 反対する.

The giant accelerator, which is taller than the Statue of Liberty, sits at?Spaceport America in the Jornada del Muerto desert of New Mexico

It has a rotating arm that moves at 15,000 miles per hour, spinning payloads inside in order to hurl them at significant speeds

Jonathan Yaney, 創立者 and CEO of SpinLaunch, said in a 声明: ‘Flight 実験（する） 10 代表するs a 重要な inflection point for SpinLaunch, as we’ve opened the Suborbital Accelerator system externally for our 顧客s, 戦略の partners, and 研究 groups,

‘The data and insights collected from flight 実験（する）s will be invaluable for both SpinLaunch, as we その上の the 開発 of the 軌道の 開始する，打ち上げる system, and for our 顧客s who are looking to us to 供給する them with low-cost, high-cadence, 維持できる 接近 to space.’

The accelerator is 位置を示すd at Spaceport America in the Jornada del Muerto 砂漠 of New Mexico, which is the same place Virgin Galactic 開始する，打ち上げるs it s 軌道の flights.

NASA, Airbus, Cornell University and a satellite manufacturer provided different technologies for the payload. They all survived the launch and the fall back to Earth

The system includes a disc-shaped accelerator powered by an electric drive that hurls payloads around at thousands of miles per hour before releasing it at the top through the launch tube

The facility is the brainchild of SpinLaunch, a company aiming to provide easy access to space, which is being developed it to send 440-pound satellites 200,000 feet above Earth's surface
