When Elon Musk founded SpaceX in 2002, its mission was to provide reliable and affordable means of carrying payloads into space.
Although it certainly has achieved this goal, the company has done so much more than just that!
Hidden away in a Texan hanger is a brand new rocket engine that will take us to Mars, help us explore the Moon, and even dominate the aviation industry.
But how exactly superior is this engine?
Let’s get started in today’s episode of Great SpaceX where we’ll unravel what Elon Musk just did with SpaceX’s Raptor that is thrilling the minds of Scientists…
The SpaceX Raptor is a cryogenic staged combustion rocket engine intended to power the high-performance lower and upper stages for the Mars-bound rocket, Starship. It has more than three times the thrust of SpaceX’s Merlin 1D engines propelling the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets and steps away from a Kerosene-based propellant.
Raptor consumes a combination of Liquid Methane and Liquid Oxygen in a Full-Flow Staged Combustion Cycle.
The highly-reusable engine makes use of concepts first demonstrated on the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets including deep cryogenics, cooled below their boiling point to increase their density and thus load the limited tank volume with a greater mass of propellant.
Like SpaceX’s Merlin engines, at least two versions of Raptor will be available – one for use on the first stage booster of the Starship launch vehicle and one optimized for operation in vacuum for operation outside Earth’s atmosphere for the interplanetary insertion and in the ambient Martian atmosphere for retropropulsion ahead of landing.
