On this flight test, SN5 was powered by a single Raptor engine – a reusable methalox full-flow staged-combustion rocket engine. This test flight was an important step in development of SpaceX’s fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the M...
Following stage separation, Super Heavy initiated its boostback burn, which sends commands to 13 of the vehicle’s 33 Raptor engines to propel the rocket toward its intended landing location. During this burn, several engines began shutting down before one engine failed energetically, quickly cascadi...
“We are going to attempt a 33-engine static fire booster test for Starship,” she said,according to Space News.“It’s really the final ground test that we can do before we light ‘em up and go.” The 33 Raptor engines can generate more than 16.5 million pounds of thrust at full p...
SpaceX test Raptor rocket engineThe rocket engine was fired at a water-cooled steel plate, which is designed to protect the launch pad during liftoff. Commenting on the test, SpaceX founder Elon Musk called it "one hell of a plasma beam"....
Aside from revealing some impressive photos of the first upgraded Raptor preparing for a static fire test, Musk went into a bit more detail on the future of the engine and its probable development path, describing Raptor in its current iteration as a sort of compromise between achieving nominal...
SpaceX conducted a full-duration test of its Raptor Vacuum engine at its McGregor, Texas testing facility. Eventually, this engine could power rockets that will ferry the very first humans to Mars. Yes, we're drooling. Nothing like a mach diamond on a Monday morning. SpaceX has fired ...
SpaceX has shared dramatic slow-motion footage showing a Starship spacecraft Raptor engine powering down at the end of a recent test fire.

这次测试的对象是 Starship 的第一级原型,也就是超重型火箭助推器(Super Heavy Booster),编号为 Booster 9。其在星际基地的轨道发射台上进行了静态点火测试,短暂地点燃了它的 33 个猛禽发动机(Raptor Engine),并在地面上固定不动。 指导仅供参考,不作为交易依据...
Elon Musk assured the design would achieve reusability in all rocket stages, and it will mean a major cost reduction in spaceflight. Plus, the Raptor is expected to power spacecraft that are 100 times the size of an SUV and carry up to 100 tons of cargo. ...
