Using centripetal force puts it in trebuchet territory does it not?

So the article says they've done ten successful launches.

What does that actually mean? It's real short on details.

They've successfully put ten payloads in orbit? Or what?

They've not put any payload into orbit yet. They've been conducting suborbital flights with a 1/3-scale launcher.
