Space X - Starship


 

Height: 121m / 397ft

Diameter: 9m / 29.5ft

Payload Capacity: 100-150tons

 SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket – collectively referred to as Starship – represent a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond. Starship is the world’s most powerful launch vehicle ever developed, capable of carrying up to 150 metric tonnes fully reusable and 250 metric tonnes expendable.

 

 STARSHIP



 Height: 50m / 165ft

Diameter: 9m / 29.5ft

Propellant Capacity 1200tons / 2.6Mlb

Thrust: 1500tf / 3.3Mlb

Payload capacity: 100-150tons

Starship is the fully reusable spacecraft and second stage of the Starship system. The vehicle comes in several different configurations, offers an integrated payload section and is capable of carrying crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond. Starship is also capable of point-to-point transport on Earth, enabling travel to anywhere in the world in one hour or less.

 

 SUPER HEAVY BOOSTER

 
 

HEIGHT: 71 m / 232 ft

DIAMETER: 9 m / 29.5 ft

PROPELLANT CAPACITY: 3,400 t / 7.5 Mlb

THRUST: 7,590 tf / 16.7 Mlbf

 

Super Heavy is the first stage, or booster, of the Starship launch system. Powered by 33 Raptor engines using sub-cooled liquid methane (CH4) and liquid oxygen (LOX), Super Heavy is fully reusable and will re-enter Earth’s atmosphere to land back at the launch site.

 

RAPTOR ENGINES

 


 

DIAMETER: 1.3 m / 4.2 ft

HEIGHT: 3.1 m / 10.2 ft

THRUST: 230 tf / 507 klbf

The Raptor engine is a reusable methane-oxygen staged-combustion engine that powers the Starship system and has twice the thrust of the Falcon 9 Merlin engine. Starship will be powered by six engines, three Raptor engines, and three Raptor Vacuum (RVac) engines, which are designed for use in the vacuum of space. Super Heavy will be powered by 33 Raptor engines, with 13 in the center and the remaining 20 around the perimeter of the booster’s aft end.
