Meridian Space Emerges as Independent Entity From SpinLaunch

Meridian, MS, September 28, 2026 — Meridian Space has officially been established as a separate entity, having spun out from its former parent company, SpinLaunch. The development was reported by industry publication Payload Space.

Details regarding the specific nature of the spin-out, including the operational structure, leadership, and strategic focus of Meridian Space, were not immediately available. Similarly, the exact timeline of this separation and the terms under which Meridian Space is operating independently remain unspecified.

SpinLaunch was known for its development of a novel orbital launch system utilizing a kinetic energy-based launch assist. The company aimed to reduce the cost and environmental impact of space launches by using a ground-based system to accelerate a payload to high speeds before releasing it for final orbital insertion by a small rocket stage. The implications of this spin-out for the future direction of both Meridian Space and SpinLaunch are yet to be fully understood.

Further information concerning Meridian Space’s business model, its relationship with SpinLaunch post-separation, and its intended contributions to the aerospace sector is anticipated. The report from Payload Space marks the initial public acknowledgment of this corporate restructuring.
