What SpaceX just Did with Raptor 3 Engine thrilled all Scientist's minds...
Elon Musk is going to take us to Mars with this amazing space engine!
Hidden away in a Texan hanger is a brand new rocket engine that’ll put us on Mars, help us explore the Moon, and further even dominate the aviation industry.
So, how awesome is this engine?
Let's get started in today's episode of Alpha Tech where we’ll unravel what SpaceX just did with Raptor 3 engines that are 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 of 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, and because it’s so hard to develop, no engine like this has ever flown before!
The highly-reusable engine makes use of concepts that were first shown to us on the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets…including deep cryogenics, that are cooled below their boiling point to increase their density and then load the limited tank volume with a bigger 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 the other for use in Vacuum for operation outside the Earth’s atmosphere for the interplanetary-insertion and in the ambient Martian atmosphere for retro propulsion prior to landing.
Raptor’s design was revealed in September 2016 during an address given by Elon Musk at the International Astronautical Congress, where he broke down SpaceX’s Mars transport architecture.
