Wow, I didn't realize they'd successfully put satellites in orbit already! edit: turns out they haven't, the article is just poorly written.

- zamadatix 2y agoThey haven't, the title is just horrible.
- flatpepsi17 2y agoThey haven't. They have done scale model and simulations, but nothing actually to space. Article from 2022 said they planned on having a real launch by 2026: https://www.space.com/spinlaunch-aces-10th-suborbital-test-launch https://www.space.com/spinlaunch-aces-10th-suborbital-test-l... ...however the company is struggling. No website updates in a long time, lots of C-suite staff changes. Would love to see this work, but I think it's dead.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoOh, then these words in the article are, uh, poorly written: > SpinLaunch has already conducted multiple successful tests with this technology. "This is not a rocket, and clearly our ability to perform in just 11 months this many tests and have them all function as planned, really is a testament to the nature of our technology," said Jonathan Yaney, founder and CEO of SpinLaunch, in a 2022 Space.com report after their 10th successful launch.
