The reusable booster features 33 Raptor engines powered by liquid methane (CH4) and liquid oxygen. All are found on the spacecraft's tail end (bottom), with 13 in the center while the remaining 20 ...

The Super Heavy rocket, which carries the spacecraft to orbit, is powered by 33 Raptor engines that together create a colossal — and record-breaking — 17 millions pounds of thrust at launch.

The slowed-down video shows the rocket’s 33 Raptor engines firing up as the enormous 120-meter-tall vehicle leaves the launchpad. With the rocket pumping out a colossal 17 million pounds of ...

But on the Flight 8 launch preparation, they talked about saving 1 metric ton of mass per Raptor 3 engine. This must be mass beyond the engine to related components simplifications. This means about ...

SpaceX made multiple changes in the wake of a January Starship failure, only to suffer a second straight vehicle breakup Thursday.

On January 17, the Super Heavy booster’s 33 Raptor engines all fired successfully at launch, and the booster was able to both start up and complete its full burn. The upper stage ignited its own ...

However, the most capable F-22s will soon get a significant boost, one that could keep the Raptor flying for years to come. Pratt & Whitney, the manufacturers of the F-22’s engines, announced ...

One Raptor (200 tons thrust) is slightly insufficient, while two Raptors (400 tons) provide excess thrust, yielding a ratio of 400 / 264 ≈ 1.52, which is reasonable for an upper stage. There are more ...
