SpinLaunch, a California company, is developing a large rotating arm using kinetic energy to launch 440-pound satellites into low orbit without the need for rocket fuel. The successful tests indicate a cleaner and more efficient way to deploy satellites for scientific purposes by 2026, leaving behind the traditional fuel-intensive methods. With modern materials and electronics, the technology aims to adapt satellites to withstand the high-speed launch environment, potentially revolutionizing the space industry.
