Nowadays rockets are the unchallenged workhorses of launch to Space. This technology generally suffers from a small payload to total weight ratio and requires large amounts of chemical fuels. Electromagnetic launch technology and more exact railguns, are promising candidates for the launch of smaller masses. Since several years the ISL has conducted railgun research and in this context studied possible space applications. Here two scenarios are presented and discussed.
