Raptor is a family of methane/liquid oxygen rocket engines under development by SpaceX since the late 2000s, [2] although LH2/LOX propellant mix was originally under study when the Raptor concept development work began in 2009. [15] When first mentioned by SpaceX in 2009, the term "Raptor" was applied exclusively to an upper stage engine ...

SpaceX readies its seventh test flight of Starship, the most powerful rocket ever designed. ... The spaceship’s propulsion system, for example, has been altered to increase the propellant volume ...
Spacecraft propulsion [note 1] is any method used to accelerate spacecraft and artificial satellites. Orbital launch systems are rockets and other systems capable of placing payloads into or beyond Earth orbit. All launch vehicle propulsion systems employed to date have been chemical rockets falling into one of three main categories:
Another in-space propulsion rocket motor, the B1 thruster is a 1 newton thruster for satellites. It is manufactured as a single structure using Inconel 718 . In 2021 it was flown on the Hiber-Three and Hiber-Four 3U CubeSat, which were respectively launched by Soyuz-2 and Falcon9 on the SpaceX Transporter-1 mission, [ 17 ] SpaceX's first ...
