A small array of spinlaunchers close to a lunar factory. Would need to have more for the full output of the factory..
The towers are 25 m tall, 1.5m in diameter, about 1 cm thick aluminum. The rotors have a radius of 25m.
These ones have 150 hp motors and launch 50 kg every two hours, 500 kg per hour for the array, ot about 2000 tonnes per year.
Spinlaunch without the box, basically.
