Humanity in Space, at Scale

Fri, January 30
Exhibit Floor, Booth #7961
TINA Talks

If humanity is serious about building in space, be it with factories, mines, or bases, then we need to move megatons, not tons. Today’s rocket infrastructure can’t deliver. Even SpaceX’s Boca Chica site, limited to 25 launches per year, only delivers approximately 3,000 tons annually. At that rate, one megaton takes over 300 years.

Orbital Bridge Launch was designed to solve this problem of moving huge mass into orbit, without destroying the environment.

Combining a ground-based linear accelerator with a reusable spaceplane powered by a supercritical steam rocket, the system can deliver two-ton payloads into LEO every fifteen minutes, operating continuously—24/7/365. The steam rocket functions both as propulsion and as a heat sink, scavenging thermal energy and expelling it as high-energy exhaust. The only emission: pure water vapor.

A single launch rail can deliver 70,000 metric tons per year into orbit. A global network could handle a megaton or more annually, and all without carbon, and without destroying local ecosystems.

This presentation will debut new technical details of the Orbital Bridge architecture, along with empirical data from our 2025 test campaign. These results are being shared for the first time at SpaceCom 2026.

Orbital Bridge Launch is not just a novel system, it is the scalable, zero-emissions launch infrastructure needed to unlock the next phase of human expansion into space.

Humanity in space, at scale, while preserving our planet.
