LongShot

Longshot Space Technologies is developing a revolutionary kinetic launch system—a massive, miles-long cannon designed to accelerate payloads to hypersonic speeds and launch them into orbit without conventional rockets. This approach dramatically reduces cost, with company estimates aiming for as little as $10 per kilogram to orbit, compared to thousands of dollars per kilogram with traditional rocket launches. Longshot's vision is to democratize access to space, making launches more routine, cost-effective, and scalable, and positioning itself as a key enabler of the future orbital economy.
