OLAC is a ground-based launch assist system that propels rockets to approximately 3km altitude and Mach 2+ using compressed air before their engines ever ignite. By eliminating the need for fuel during the initial liftoff phase, OLAC dramatically reduces launch costs and increases payload capacity.

Traditional rockets burn 10–20 tons of fuel per second during liftoff just to escape Earth's gravity well, leaving only 2.5% of total liftoff mass to actually reach orbit. OLAC replaces that fuel-burning phase entirely with a compressed air assist, meaning rockets arrive at ignition altitude already moving at Mach 2+ with full fuel reserves intact.

OLAC uses patented travelling wave technology — a sequential pressure system that accelerates the rocket through a cannon barrel using compressed air generated by solar-powered compressors. The initial liftoff energy is recycled within the system, making the process 100% clean and sustainable.

Yes. OLAC is protected by a global PCT patent covering the United States, China, the European Union, and all major jurisdictions. The patent covers the core travelling wave technology that makes the system possible.

The OLAC Multiplex is designed to scale across a wide range of applications — from pyrotechnics and weather systems to small satellites and full orbital rockets. The system is adaptable to the needs of any launch provider.

Mechazilla catches and reuses rocket boosters after launch, delivering payload capacity improvements of 2–5%. OLAC intervenes before launch, eliminating fuel consumption at liftoff entirely. The result is a 50%+ increase in payload capacity and a 41% reduction in launch costs — an order of magnitude beyond what booster recovery alone can achieve.

The prototype is currently in the design phase, based on simulation results using Ansys Fluent, an industry-standard computational fluid dynamics platform.

The $1.69 billion year-one savings figure is a conservative estimate based on deploying OLAC alongside SpaceX's Falcon 9 at an anticipated cadence of 475 launches per year by 2031 — projected from the 2025 cadence of 165 launches growing at SpaceX's historical 30% annual rate. Looking further out, SpaceX's Starship and Superheavy booster is expected to carry roughly 6x the payload of Falcon 9, with a targeted cadence of 50,000 launches per year to reach 10 million tons of cargo to orbit annually. Today, Falcon 9 delivers approximately 3,795 tons to orbit per year at a cost of $2.5 million per ton, or $8.5 billion annually. At that rate, launching 10 million tons per year would cost $22 trillion. SpaceX expects Starship to lower launch costs by a factor of 10, bringing annual costs down to approximately $2.2 trillion. OLAC is projected to reduce that further by 30%, saving SpaceX approximately $600 billion annually. Under our licensing structure, customers retain 80% of the cost savings generated by OLAC, while Space Launch Technologies receives the remaining 20% as a licensing fee. We estimate the full 8-cannon OLAC Multiplex designed for Starship and Superheavy will cost $50–60 billion to build. Against $480 billion in net annual savings to SpaceX after licensing fees, and with 10 OLAC multiplexes required to support 50,000 flights per year, the payback period on capital costs is estimated at 1 to 1.5 years.

Yes. Our most advanced discussion to date is an active engineering conversation with a North American launch provider under NDA, whose engineering team is currently reviewing our white paper ahead of publication. The conversation began with their interest in integrating OLAC into their launch facilities.

We began work on the white paper in Q3 2025; a Q3 2025 completion was never promised. As the most important technical document our company will produce, we are prioritizing precision and completeness over speed. Publication is currently being held back deliberately to ensure the paper satisfies technical readers without disclosing proprietary details that could compromise our patent position. Since registering with the Patent Cooperation Treaty in May 2026, our provisional patents can remain unpublished for an additional 18 months — extending our window to November 2027. We are using this time to advance prototype development while competitors remain unaware of our progress.

The thermal environment during the OLAC boost phase is managed by the heat shields mounted on the Starship, with maximum anticipated external temperatures around 250°C — well within the tolerance of Starship's existing heat shields. The payload itself is protected by the fairings of either the Falcon 9 second stage or the Starship-Superheavy second stage. Starship and Superheavy are designed to withstand 5 to 10 Gs, and OLAC operates within a 7 to 9 G range — within tolerance for both the vehicle and its payload.
