A SpaceX Starship upper stage exploded during ramp-up to an expected engine test firing at the company's Starbase facility on ...

SpaceX has test-fired its Starship vehicle with Raptor engines before, of course. In some prototype test flights, the vehicle has ascended up to about 10 km under the power of up to three Raptor ...

The new Raptor 3 has a 280tf thrust, a 350s specific impulse, and an engine mass of 1525kg. This shows that SpaceX has managed to give the Raptor 3 a significant boost in thrust and reduce its ...

The SpaceX Raptor engine already enables the SpaceX Super Heavy Starship to have more than double the thrust of the Saturn V. Walter Isaacson’s Elon Musk biography talked about the SpaceX 1337 having ...

The Raptor 3 boasts a thrust of 280 tf, a specific impulse of 350s, and an engine mass of 1525 kg. The SpaceX Raptor 3 engine has potential to exceed 300 tons of thrust in future iterations, ...

We know what SpaceX's next-generation Starship looks like. Now Elon Musk has shared a series of new looks at the Raptor engine that'll one day rocket it off our planet -- including a sublime ...

To put this into perspective, the Raptor 2 rocket engine produces approximately 510,000 pounds of thrust. This is almost identical to the amount of thrust produced by the RS-25 engine that will be ...

The new Raptor 3 has a 280tf thrust, a 350s specific impulse, and an engine mass of 1525kg. This shows that SpaceX has managed to give the Raptor 3 a significant boost in thrust and reduce its ...

The Raptor engine is obviously quite powerful, but even SpaceX’s smaller “Star Hopper” test ship will require three of them to push it skyward.

SpaceX has shared dramatic slow-motion footage showing a Raptor engine powering down at the end of a recent test fire. “Shutdown of a Raptor vacuum engine in slow motion,” SpaceX said in a ...

Merlin is SpaceX's first and most reliable rocket engine. Considered one of the most powerful engines propelling space exploration , it is the heart of the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy.
