Secretive Israeli startup Moonshot Space raises $12M, unveils electric launcher for hypersonic and orbital missions | CTech

▤ Summary

Moonshot Space has emerged from secrecy with a $12 million funding total and a new electromagnetic launcher for hypersonic and orbital missions. The Israeli startup is building a system that uses electricity rather than chemical propellant to accelerate payloads to extreme speeds. It is targeting two use cases: low-cost cargo delivery to orbit and high-throughput hypersonic testing for defense programs. The company has already signed preliminary agreements with D-Orbit and Orbit Fab, suggesting early commercial interest in its logistics platform. Its broader pitch centers on faster, cheaper testing and more efficient in-space resupply for satellites and future orbital infrastructure.
