I'm not sure if this is reporting anything new?
I the 2022 test flights that the article mentions would have been from their smaller, vertical-throwing suborbital prototype. Last I saw they had kind of gone silent since 2023. The news page on their website [https://www.spinlaunch.com/in-the-news https://www.spinlaunch.com/in-the-news] hasn't posted any updates in almost a year.
I assume means they haven't successfully scaled up to the orbital launcher yet. Perhaps they're having trouble securing funding. Perhaps they're having trouble working out some engineering problems or securing a site for the facility. Or maybe things are just taking time. I'm guessing, though, that this is a situation where no news is definitely not good news.

- karmakaze 2y agoYeah wondering the same. I figure if they had anything new to show it would show up in their YouTube channel[0]. I can't even tell the difference between the Apr 2022 and Nov 2021 test launches as there isn't much detail provided.
