Longshot Space

Longshot Space is an innovative aerospace startup based in Oakland, California, developing the world's largest gun to enable affordable and responsive hypersonic testing, with the ultimate goal of launching cargo into space. Their kinetic launch system aims to transform the economics of sending materials to orbit by using compressed gas to accelerate payloads to hypersonic speeds, potentially reaching up to Mach 30 (approximately 36,700 km/h). This approach seeks to significantly reduce the cost of space launches, making access to space more economical and frequent.
