Elon Musk JUST REVEALED SpaceX Is Testing Insane New Raptor Engine!
Whether you find it surprising or not, SpaceX’s Raptor engine currently dominates the space travel market. One aspect that even NASA finds intriguing is the dedication and effort Elon Musk consistently invests in the continuous improvement of the Raptor engine. Despite the recent setback highlighted in SpaceX’s latest update, where both stages of the Starship vehicle exploded post-separation, the test flight was still hailed as a significant achievement.
In this event, all 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy booster initiated successfully, accomplishing a full-duration burn during ascent for the first time. Although the Raptor engines are unparalleled and stand in a league of their own, Musk envisions further room for development. This led to the creation of the next-generation Raptor engine. Can this engine be the key to realizing Musk’s ambition of transporting humans to Mars? What kind of impact will it have on the future of Starship and SpaceX as a whole?
With ambitious intentions to establish human life on multiple planets and transport a million people to Mars by 2050 using the Starship, Elon Musk faces the critical challenge of avoiding setbacks. Fortunately, the recent test provided a positive outcome for Musk, with all 33 engines of the Starship Raptor successfully completing the examination unharmed.
Musk shared the achievement in a tweet, revealing that the Starship’s Raptor engines achieved a chamber pressure of 350 bar, equivalent to 269 tons of thrust. Expressing his astonishment, Musk acknowledged the uncharted nature of this high pressure and admitted that they did not anticipate the engine’s ability to endure a full-duration run at such intensity.
