2019 Elon Musk announced that the first-test fire of the
SpaceX
Raptor rocket engine produced the strongest thrust of any
SpaceX
rocket motor to date. It will be used on its next-gen rocket 'Starship'. The two-second test conducted at its McGregor, Texas facility confirmed that that the Raptor engine performed the "highest thrust ever" from a
SpaceX
engine, despite operating at 60 percent power.
The methane fuel-powered Raptor marks a technological shift away from the LOX/kerosene mix used in
SpaceX
's current Merlin engines. This latest test was conducted with warm propellant, with Musk tweeting that he expects a 10 to 20 percent increase in performance when switching to deep cryogenic temperatures. (engadget.com) (Photo Credit: cnet.com)
