The supply chain gap

​​The current space economy is powered by reusable rockets that have lowered launch costs and opened the door to frequent access to orbit. But while rockets laid the foundation for satellites, stations, and deep-space missions, they were never designed for logistics. Space still relies on a single mode of transportation that carries only a small fraction of its mass as payload, and no economy, terrestrial or celestial, can grow without a reliable supply chain.

As space activity grows, the industry needs a complementary logistics system capable of launching small to medium-sized cargo such as fuel, oxygen, and raw materials, everything required to keep orbital infrastructure operational. A sustainable space economy depends on an adaptable, on-demand supply layer that can reliably transport these payloads between celestial bodies and support the routine needs of stations and satellites.
 

Moonshot is making kinetic launch a reality

We’re building the missing layer: A fast and affordable electromagnetic kinetic launch system designed for high-frequency delivery of small to medium payloads, supplying space infrastructure and assets. By using scheduled electric pulses to accelerate cargo along a channel to hypersonic speeds, the spacecraft becomes a true single-stage-to-orbit system, eliminating most chemical fuel and increasing mass-to-payload ratios by more than 10X. Working alongside and complementing rockets, our system creates a scalable logistics backbone for sustained, precise, and environmentally friendly in-orbit operations, enabling the next phase of the space economy.
