    It looks like SpinLaunch has achieved 10 successful launches: https://www.aerospacetestinginternational.com/news/space/spinlaunch-completes-tenth-flight-test-with-payloads-from-nasa-and-airbus.html

    The only thing I can find on the altitude of those flights is from Wikipedia which says it launches them “up to” 9,100m.

      They replaced the CEO last week from the original founder. I’m not hopeful it isn’t all just a big cash grab that made a bunch of board members rich. Capitalism is ruining everything.

      Yea, which is nothing. Plus altitude means nothing when u want to put stuff in orbit. It’s the initial velocity that matters for an apparatus like this.
