SpinLaunch built a prototype back in 2022 that can throw stuff up to suborbital altitudes. The big version was supposed to be done by now.
They had a lot of trouble finding a launch site. Hawaii didn't like it. Alaska didn't like it. Australia was discussed but nothing happened.[1]
This might be useful if there were space stations that needed large, frequent deliveries of fuel, air, and water.
