When stacked and fully fueled, Starship has a mass of approximately 5,000 t (11,000,000 lb), [c] a diameter of 9 m (30 ft) [15] and a height of 121.3 m (398 ft). [16] The rocket has been designed with the goal of being fully reusable to reduce launch costs; [17] it consists of the Super Heavy booster and the Starship upper stage [18] which are powered by Raptor and Raptor Vacuum engines.
Super Heavy is the reusable first stage of the SpaceX Starship super heavy-lift launch vehicle, which it composes in combination with the Starship second stage.As a part of SpaceX's Mars colonization program, the booster evolved into its current design over a decade.
Starship is a two-stage-to-orbit fully reusable launch vehicle being privately developed by SpaceX, consisting of the Super Heavy booster as the first stage and a second stage, also called Starship. [ 22 ] [ 23 ] It is designed to be a long-duration cargo and passenger-carrying spacecraft . [ 24 ]
The two-stage Super Heavy-Starship, known collectively as the Starship, is the largest, most powerful rocket in the world with twice the liftoff thrust of NASA's legendary Saturn 5 and nearly ...
Starship and its accompanying Super Heavy booster is the most powerful rocket ever built, capable of producing up to 7.25 million kg of thrust – nearly double that of the current record held by ...
With 17 million pounds of thrust, Starship's Super Heavy rocket produces double the thrust of the next most powerful launcher, NASA's Space Launch System (SLS). It's propelled by cooled liquid ...
The vehicle Super Heavy composes when combined with the Starship spacecraft, Starship, [1] has been developed with the intention of lowering launch costs using economies of scale. [2] SpaceX aims to achieve this by reusing both rocket stages , increasing payload mass to orbit, increasing launch frequency, creating a mass-manufacturing pipeline ...
A Starship propellant depot could cache methane and oxygen on-orbit and be used by Starship to replenish its fuel tanks. Starship Human Landing System (HLS) is a crewed lunar lander variant of the Starship vehicle that would be modified for landing, operation, and takeoff from the lunar surface. [ 65 ]
