SpaceX's Raptor engine is one of the most advanced rocket engines ever built, and it’s rewriting the rules of space travel. In this video, we break down what makes the Raptor so revolutionary ...

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.

To put that into perspective, the much smaller BE-3 engine that powers BO's suborbital New Shepard rocket produces only about one-fifth of that thrust, or around 110,000 pounds at sea level.

SpaceX has just shared a short video showing a test firing of one of its six Starship engines in preparation for the rocket’s 10th flight test. “Single-engine static fire demonstrating an in ...

For those that don't know, SpaceX's flagship rocket, Starship, uses 33 Raptor engines in its first stage booster called Super Heavy.

Each Raptor engine has a thrust of 230 ton-force (tf) or 507 kip-force (klbf). Considering the Super Heavy has 33 total engines, that means it's outputting 7,590 ton-force to get the Starship ...

A qualification test of a Raptor 2 engine has resulted in a dramatic explosion at SpaceX’s McGregor facility. The company has yet to comment on the incident, but it’s unlikely to affect the ...

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk announced on Saturday that the combined power of Starship ‘s multiple Raptor engines will generate a thrust of 19.5 million pounds for the massive rocket.
