In our project we want to find alternatives waysof putting payloads into space. We are going to reasearch how rail gunm technology of electromagentism might be a time efficient way to put items into space. 
   We will have to calculate to amount of power to move certain weight payloads to the speed need to enter orbit. We also need to caculate the amount of magnetic strength needed to reach the right acceleration. 
   The initial cost of building a rail gun with the capacity and strength to put even a small satellite into orbit would be extremely high. After the rail gun has been built, many items can be put into space without having to wait for the propulsion system to be built. Even after having the rail gun built, the low power efficiency of the gun would add to the amount of money needed for each launch.
