The Insane Engineering Of SpaceX Starship


The Starship would not be able to escape Earth's gravitational pull and propel itself on interplanetary trips without its Raptor engines. As the Starship is designed to hoist loads weighing up to 100 tonnes, the thrust they generate must be tremendous. This is critical because, if Musk's ambition to put people on Mars is realised, the Starship will bring all of the essentials for life to the planet. SpaceX possesses a multitude of powerful rockets, including the falcon nine, which is largely reusable.

It is capable of launching payloads into low Earth orbit weighing up to 22,000 kilograms. The Falcon 9 is powered by the Merlin engine, which SpaceX developed in-house. In contrast, the Starship required something more potent. And SpaceX decided to develop a new engine, which it named the Raptor. SpaceX is introducing several strange concepts that few other rocket firms have considered. The final product is a monster masquerading as a rocket engine. Each Raptor engine weighs approximately 1.5 tonnes and will provide the Starship with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 230 tonnes.
