launch system SpinLaunch It accelerates the launch vehicles to high speeds in the vacuum chamber with the help of electric motors. After the centrifuge spins, the locking mechanism activates the rocket, and the rocket flies out of the hole in the chamber at a speed of approximately 2.2 kilometers per second.

Once the carrier reaches suborbital altitude, the engines are activated and the rocket launches the payload into orbit.
