SpinLaunch is developing a large rotating arm that uses kinetic energy to fling 440-pound satellites into low orbit.
The process doesn't need rocket fuel to work, and it's all powered by electricity.
Kinetic energy has been used by humans for centuries via trebuchets and siege machines during war, hurling heavy objects great distances.
