Cost Disruption ($7.3/kg)

Breaking the Chemical Rocket Monopoly

Traditional space launch costs are dominated by the expense of expendable rocket stages and chemical propellants. EMLS disrupts this model by using a reusable, ground-based electromagnetic track that eliminates the need for 90% of the hardware typically "thrown away" after a single flight.

The 90% Cost Reduction Model

By moving the propulsion energy to the ground, we achieve a 90% reduction in launch costs.

  • Fuel vs. Electricity: Replacing expensive chemical propellants with 100% renewable solar energy.

  • High Frequency: A single EMLS track can perform hundreds of launches per year, whereas traditional rockets require months of refurbishment.

  • Target Pricing: Our economic goal is a delivery price of $7.3 per kg to lunar orbit, compared to current industry averages which can exceed $10,000 to $100,000 per kg for certain missions.
