The precision gas injection scheme pioneered by Green Launch is designed to prevent errant detonation in the combustion chamber during launch. This anomaly has limited the efficacy and practicality of legacy combustion launch systems. The Green Launch injection methodology allows controlled, prolonged acceleration of the vehicle while it is moving up the launch tube. This gas injection system resulted in projectile launch velocities of 2.4 km/sec (Mach 7) during testing.
