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"....
SpaceX has given us a few more dramatic looks at last week's Starship engine test. SpaceX fired up Booster 9 — the latest prototype of its Starship first stage, known as Super Heavy — on Friday (Aug. 25) at its Starbase facility in South Texas. All 33 of Booster 9's Raptor engi...
过去二十年中,该基地一直是SpaceX公司梅林(Merlin)发动机和猛禽(Raptor)发动机最主要的试验研发和测试场所,每台发动机都要在这里进行测试。梅林发动机为SpaceX的猎鹰-9(Falcon-9)和猎鹰重型(Falcon Heavy)等可重复使用火箭提供主要推力,使用液氧-煤油作为推进剂...
本周四，该公司在推特上发布了一段“凶猛”的短视频，推文中写道“在SpaceX位于德州McGregor的火箭发射中心，猛禽真空发动机正进行点火测试（full–duration test）”。Completed a full duration test fire of the Raptor Vacuum engine at SpaceX’s rocket development facility in McGregor, Texaspic.twitter.com/0...
Catching the booster was the primary goal of October's flight test, and SpaceX succeeded on its first attempt. 捕获助推器是十月份飞行测试的主要目标,SpaceX的第一次尝试就取得了成功。 Propelled by 33 massive Raptor engines, Stars...
网易科技讯 7月18日消息,据外媒报道,当地时间周三晚间,美国太空探索技术公司SpaceX星际飞船(Starship)测试版原型Starhopper在德克萨斯州博卡奇卡市进行引擎测试后起火,变身“大火球”。 大约在Starhopper引擎点火四分钟后,第二次小爆炸将飞船原型吞噬在火焰中,持续了几秒钟时间,这似乎是场意外。起火很快被扑灭,但这次事故...

发动机方面,原型机使用的猛禽发动机(Raptor engine)是一种可重复使用甲醇分级燃烧发动机,2019 年 7 月开始就已在 Starship 项目的火箭原型上进行飞行测试。 不过,「前辈」们只用了一台发动机,因此地面测试的高度不超过 150 米;而 SN8 则配备了三台,每台发动机推力约 225 吨,试飞高度 12.5 千米,即平流层。
