A space launch system includes a launch track and an elevating platform for horizontally launching aerospace vehicles at a takeoff velocity. The launch track includes a first portion horizontally oriented with respect to the horizon, a second portion positioned after the first portion and horizontally oriented with respect to the horizon, and a third curved transition portion disposed between the first portion and the second portion. The elevating platform is coupled to the launch track and is configured to receive and position an aerospace vehicle upon the launch track. A magnetic accelerator is disposed along the launch track for propelling the aerospace vehicle down the launch track to reach the takeoff velocity. The magnetic accelerator includes magnetic levitation trains, each comprising a respective plurality of carriers that couple to the aerospace vehicle.
