This invention relates to a system for launching a payload. A rotating flywheel (11) accelerates a traditionally designed rocket (16) to a significant speed. Rotational energy from the flywheel (11) is transferred in the form of kinetic energy through a spiral surface and a cable (14) to the rocket (16). The system comprises a smaller rocket (16) carrying less fuel, provided with a smaller first stage engine. All other components of the system are re-used. This leads to a simpler and more efficient design of the rocket (16) and to a considerable reduction in launch costs.

L'invention concerne un système permettant de lancer une charge utile. Un volant rotatif (11) accélère et amène une fusée classique (16) à une vitesse significative. L'énergie de rotation du volant (11) est transférée vers la fusée (16) sous forme d'énergie cinétique par une surface spiralée et un câble (14). Le système comporte une fusée plus petite (16) transportant moins de carburant, pourvue d'un premier moteur à étages. Tous les autres composants du système sont réutilisés, ce qui amène à une conception plus simple et plus rentable de la fusée (16) et à une diminution considérable des coûts de lancement.
