Non-rocket spacelaunch

Non-rocket space launch refers to concepts for launch into space where some or all of the needed speed and altitude are provided by something other than expendable rockets. A number of alternatives to expendable rockets have been proposed. In some systems such as skyhook, rocket sled launch, rockoon and air launch, a rocket is used to reach orbit, but it is only ""part"" of the system.Present-day launch costs are very high – $10,000 to $25,000 per kilogram from Earth to low Earth orbit (LEO). As a result, launch costs are a large percentage of the cost of all space endeavors. If launch costs can be made cheaper the total cost of space missions will be reduced. Fortunately, due to the exponential nature of the rocket equation, providing even a small amount of the velocity to LEO by other means has the potential of greatly reducing the cost of getting to orbit.Getting launch costs down into the hundreds of dollars per kilogram range would make many of the proposed large-scale space projects such as space colonization, space-based solar power and terraforming Mars possible.
