森尼维耳市——硅谷创业公司已经设计了一个巧妙的方式发送火箭进入太空。被称为SpinLaunch,公司想要爆炸小有效载荷送入轨道上微型火箭。空客公司,全球之声(原谷歌风投)和Kleiner Perkins SpinLaunch主要投资者,硅谷创业公司,旨在降低发射成本由扔没有燃烧燃料火箭进入太空。该公司宣布,它已经筹集了4000万美元,彭博社报道。该公司表示,它将利用这笔资金扩大团队和技术。SpinLaunch最近出来的隐形模式,但即便如此,对公司或其创始人以外的一个简短的描述。加州桑尼维尔SpinLaunch成立于2014年,由乔纳森•Yaney自称“企业家”和航空爱好者。Yaney在过去15年成立创业领域的咨询,建筑、航空航天,根据今天的宇宙。示意图的大规模加速slingatron通过分阶段gyrationalmotion整个加速器管。NSS发射系统技术SpinLaunch概念向空间使用旋转加速度载荷和发射机是基于1997年的一项提议HyperV技术公司,叫做Slingatron。 The company has developed a working prototype of its launcher, but there are few details on how it works, other than it requires the firm to get a rocket spinning in a circle at about 5,000 mph before they let it go. Sort of like a discus thrower would toss a discus after reaching the right momentum. What is particularly intriguing is that SpinLaunch will not be using traditional rocket fuels. The company's novel technology will rely on a large centrifuge to store energy and will then rapidly transfer that energy into a catapult to send a payload to space at up to 4,800 kilometers per hour (3,000 mph), according to TechCrunch. SpinLaunch isn't the first firm to explore catapult-assisted launch systems. NASA looked into similar technology, which was based around a track, instead of a centrifuge. NASA Ready for launch in 2022 SpinLaunch plans to send its first satellite into space in 2022. If this launch system proves to be successful, it would mean launching a payload into low-Earth-orbit could be reduced to about $500,000, far less than SpaceX or United Launch Alliance charge for a launch. "Some people call it a non-rocket launch," founder Jonathan Yaney told Bloomberg. "It seems crazy. It seems fantastic. But we are actually using relatively low-tech industrial components to break this problem into manageable chunks." Wen Hsieh, a general partner at Kleiner Perkins, said he and fellow investors were “very intrigued” by SpinLaunch's technology, according to GeekWire . “SpinLaunch can be powered by renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, thereby eliminating the use of toxic and dangerous rocket fuels,” Hsieh said. “SpinLaunch’s unique and proprietary approach to place satellites into low Earth orbit is not only highly cost-efficient, but also safe and green.”
