About the Innovation:
A series of the relay of the electromagnetic launcher with a gun and a floating launch platform to launch projectiles in space, wherein the projectile is accelerated along a path using electromagnetic force until the projectile reaches a desired direction and position.
The direction of the path is determined by orienting the path in the desired direction using a catcher. The catcher and rail gun projectile as high above as possible, coming close to near space. When the said projectile will reach the last platform, it will be launched by the railgun and ignite its rocket engine to take the payload into space or as required to eliminate the need for large rocket boosters to launch the projectile.
