A human future in space

Longshot is an aerospace startup based in Oakland, California, committed to providing the resources humanity needs in orbit to reach the stars.

SEE THE ACCELERATOR

Longshot is transforming the economics of sending materials to space.

A future where humanity has access to outer space will require sending gigatons of raw materials and equipment into orbit.

Currently, we use rockets to transport both cargo and crew, but cargo can withstand much higher accelerations.

Our focus on kinetic launch aims to achieve the lowest possible cost for delivering mass to orbit using simple, reliable technology — guns.
