Summary
  • •Longshot Space has begun developing a space launch system based on hypersonic technology.
  • •Cost reduction and efficiency improvement are expected compared to existing rocket launches.
  • •By recruiting a vice president for defense programs, we are also exploring application to the military field.

Seeking innovation in space accessibility through hypersonic launch technology

Longshot Space Technologies Corporation, a new American space startup, has begun developing a new orbital entry method using hypersonic technology. According to industry reports, the company's Vice President of Defense Programs Mark Bigham recently revealed the company's technology vision in a podcast interview.

Longshot Space is a hardware startup that pursues a differentiated approach from existing vertical rocket launch methods. The key goal is to build a new route to space orbit based on hypersonic technology.

Why hypersonic launch technology?

Hypersonic launch technology refers to a method of launching an object into orbit at a speed of Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound) or higher. If this technology is commercialized, it is expected to significantly reduce costs compared to existing rocket launches.

In particular, it can be an innovative alternative in the field of small satellites and material supply. Traditional rocket launches require massive amounts of fuel and complex infrastructure, but hypersonic launch systems have the potential to eliminate many of these limitations.

Vice President Bigham's history in charge of defense programs suggests that Longshot Space is seeking to apply its technology not only in the civil space market but also in the military and security fields. Hypersonic technology is also an area whose strategic importance is being highlighted amid the recent U.S.-China competition.
