Space Launch
Technologies Inc.
THE PROBLEM
Rocket launches must overcome the earth’s deep
gravity well which limits payload to orbit to only approximately 2.5%
of total ship and fuel weight.
Payload is Severely Restricted
Only 2.5% of total liftoff mass is delivered to orbit.
Enormous Fuel usage for Liftoff
SpaceX Superheavy booster expends approximately 16 tons of fuel per second during the initial liftoff sequence.
Launch Challenges Multiply
Ground level environmental disruption, initial liftoff thrust energy simply dissipates into the atmosphere, large carbon footprint for each launch.
our solution
The Orbital Launch Air Cannon (OLAC)
A system that shifts initial rocket propulsion to ground-based infrastructure for superior launch outcomes.
Ground cannon propels rockets via compressed air:
Reaches ~1km altitude and Mach 1+ before engines ignite.
Payload capacity nearly
doubles:
Permits heavier payload deliveries to orbit and beyond.
our solution
The Orbital Launch Air Cannon (OLAC)
Our OLAC system’s ground source energy (compressed air) greatly reduces the amount of fuel burned during the initial liftoff sequence to 1Km of altitude. As payload capacity per launch is increased by approximately 70% thanks to the ground-based thrust energy, cost per metric ton to orbit is reduced by approximately 41%.

206%
Orbital launches grew from 86 in 2015 to 263 in 2024
(158 just in the U.S.) — a 206% increase.

$1.8T
The Space Economy is projected to be worth $1.8
trillion by 2035, up from $630 billion in 2023 — a
186% increase.

FOUNDER-MARKET FIT
Carl F. Mazur, PhD, is the ideal person to bring the OLAC solution to market, as he is well aware of the challenges and opportunities involved in launching disruptive, paradigm-shifting technologies.
Carl began his career by helping develop the salmon aquaculture industry on Canada’s West Coast, with nine scientific publications in the field that have been cited over 5,000 times to date. He then founded a biotech company, Biodenix Technologies Inc., where he licensed and introduced the first commercially available human tissue regeneration product from Sweden to Canada, selling it through his licensing, marketing, and distribution company.
Bringing his patented orbital launch air cannon (OLAC) to market, aiming to disrupt and revolutionize the orbital space launch industry, is a natural progression for Carl, who has consistently succeeded in the fast-paced world of introducing innovative and revolutionary technologies.
