I assume that the same technology could be applied for launch systems, with one major change: maximum acceleration. An electric railgun would need to be very long in order to reach high velocity without undergoing huge accelerations as in the Navy railgun. Ramping up a vehicle with payload and fuel in it without destroying it is the name of the game.
