Launching into space using a propulsion method that is not constrained by the limitations of the rocket equation is referred to as a non-rocket spacelaunch. This kind of launch refers to methods for achieving orbit in space that do not rely on rockets to accomplish the necessary speeds and altitudes. 2, record 1, English, - non%2Drocket%20space%20launch

L'idée d'effectuer des lancements orbitaux sans fusée a été explorée par le passé dans le cadre de projets de recherche très ambitieux, tels qu'une initiative conjointe des États-Unis et du Canada connue sous le nom de «Projet Harp» dans les années 1960, qui visait à lancer des projectiles en orbite à l'aide d'un canon spatial massif. 1, record 1, French, - lancement%20spatial%20sans%20fus%C3%A9e

[La] invención se centra en el diseño de un vehículo espacial multietapa de transferencia a órbita terrestre baja, que presenta dos novedades fundamentales: comprende un vehículo lanzador entendido como primera etapa y concebido como un dirigible semirrígido, que asciende hasta la estratosfera, lanza un cohete y regresa a tierra para ser reutilizado totalmente, otro vehículo entendido como segunda etapa y concebido como un cohete monoetapa, que todo él se considera como carga útil, sin que se desprenda durante el viaje ninguna parte de él. 1, record 2, Spanish, - veh%C3%ADculo%20lanzador

En la etapa de lanzamiento, cualquier vehículo espacial está sometido a severas fluctuaciones de presión debido a la operación de su motor cohete. […] Durante el lanzamiento, los intensos niveles de presión acústica en los alrededores del vehículo espacial pueden excitar la carga útil, la estructura de lanzamiento, los sistemas de apoyo terrestre y/o la misma estructura del vehículo, generando vibraciones peligrosas y potencialmente dañinas. 1, record 3, Spanish, - lanzamiento

A partir de 1970[,] nuevos países aparecen en la escena mundial con cohetes propios[,] aunque basados en las técnicas conocidas[,] como son China, Japón, India y Brasil. China desarrolla el CZ-2 (larga marcha) con la ayuda de la URSS [Unión de Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas], que en 1985 despegó por vez primera de la base espacial de Jiuquam y el CZ-3 cuya configuración se asemeja al lanzador americano Titán II. 3, record 4, Spanish, - base%20espacial
