Rotary Rocket, Inc dari Mojave, California, adalah sebuah perusahaan yang berkantor pusat di fasilitas peroketan 45.000 kaki persegi (4.200 m2) di Mojave Airport yang mengembangkan konsep Roton di akhir 1990-an sebagai pesawat ruang angkasa berawak sepenuhnya dapat digunakan kembali single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO).

The Roton dimaksudkan untuk mengurangi biaya peluncuran muatan ke orbit bumi rendah dengan faktor sepuluh. Gary Hudson memperjuangkan desain dan membentuk perusahaan. Sebuah kendaraan uji skala penuh membuat tiga penerbangan melayang-layang pada tahun 1999, tetapi perusahaan kelelahan dana dan menutup pintu pada awal tahun 2001.
