Hydrogen launchers will revitalize space exploration in the 21st century.  Quicklaunch will enable manned outposts on Mars and colonies on the moon.

Our Goal

Deliver propellant to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at less than 10% of the current cost. By using hydrogen gas gun launchers we will attain costs of $500/lb at the pump in LEO.

The Quicklaunch technology also increases crew safety by providing extra margin.

The Cost of Space Exploration

Quicklaunch reduces the overall cost of manned exploration of Mars and the Moon by more than a factor of 10.

Mars Metric – 1 million lb of propellant in LEO per Martian explorer (1). Current propellant price to land and return 10 Mars explorers will be $50B for a 3 year mission. Quicklaunch will deliver the propellant for $5B.

Lunar Metric – 100,000 lb of propellant in LEO per Lunar explorer. Lunar exploration is less expensive but still demands cheaper propellant for significant exploration.
