Lunar-surface-based electromagnetically powered rail-launch concept comprises Moon-fixed, non-jet reaction acceleration device which achieves requisite velocities by accelerating payload tangentially along surface of Moon by means other than rockets; forces for acceleration are generated through electromagnetic means; a-c and d-c drives appear feasible; description of conceptual Lunatron acceleration carriage and rail; Lunatron mission capability potentially spans total energy range from Earth return to fast solar system escape trajectories.
