Instead of using traditional rocket fuel, SpinLaunch uses a massive rotating arm to propel satellites into Earth orbit solely by electricity

    I haven’t see any kind of news or update from them in over a year

        Actually, I stand corrected. It looks like they raised $11.5 million a few months ago and are working on a ruggedized little satellite that would survive their centrifuge.

        Also, “founder and CEO Jonathan Yaney left the company” ?
