SpaceX Starships new Raptor 3 engine makes a big splash


The world’s most powerful rocket in existence (a total of 39 different Raptor engines combined) SpaceX Starship Studies are ongoing for.

New engine designed for use in SpaceX Starship’s first stage, the Super Heavy Raptor 3has a much simpler structure than the Raptor 1 and Raptor 2, thanks to the incredible work done. In this way, the new rocket brings significant advantages in terms of production, efficiency and speed. Elon Musk, who made a statement about “The amount of work required to simplify the Raptor engine, incorporate secondary flow paths, and add regenerative cooling for exposed components was incredible. As a result, our Raptor 3 engine does not require any heat shields, eliminating the heat shield and its complexity, as well as the fire suppression system. It is also lighter, has more thrust and higher efficiency than the Raptor 2.. Truly a work of art.” saidMusk, who said that Raptor 3 can produce 10,000 tons of thrust during take-off, also said in his statement, ““We are approaching the limit of known physics.” The rocket engine, which was reported to have entered production on August 2, is seen as an exciting advancement in the field.

A video sharing about the rocket had previously attracted attention. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk According to the post made by SpaceX Starship’s first stage (Super Heavy) when you look back here will be captured in a similar way to what you can see in the video. The company plans to make the first test in the upcoming fifth Starship launch test. In this way, it aims to reduce rocket weight and costs by eliminating the landing system on the second stage. It is stated that this structure will save fuel and that the platform to be established can place the first stage of Starship on top of the second stage. The company aims to provide serious time savings thanks to this system. SpaceX says multiple launches are needed to establish life on Marswants to reduce the time between Starship-based launches as much as possible.

In case you missed it, the fourth launch for Starship went off without a hitch. First stage taking off Super Heavy then returned without any problems and landed vertically. Finally, Starship itself made a vertical landing without any problems. Elon Musk said, “Despite multiple heat shields falling off and a damaged wing, Starship managed to make a soft landing on an autonomous platform in the ocean. Congratulations to the SpaceX team on an epic achievement.” He said. The fourth attempt was generally successful.
