Hypersonic Launch Featuring Propellant Capture with Suppressed Acoustic and Heat Signature

Green Launch has just successfully completed development of extended capabilities for our light-gas kinetic launch system. As proposed by Jules Verne we have found the fastest way to space is a hypersonic space launch tube. In our case we have substituted 3x faster hydrogen for gunpowder. We have launched projectiles horizontally to hypersonic velocities,

LiSA UAV: Development of Lightweight and Scalable Autonomous UAV Platform for Low-Cost Intelligent Aerial Sensing

Current autonomous drones for aerial sensing are often costly, heavy (typically over 500 g), and require licensed pilots under aviation regulations. This restricts their use for education, research, and small-scale field applications. LiSA UAV addresses this by offering a lightweight (d on a compact 2.5-inch cinewhoop carbon fiber frame. It supports multiple autonomous modes, including Loiter,
