SpaceX launched its giant Starship rocket, a Users Guide. The paper will provide a brief description of the rocket designed to transport humans, payloads, satellites and cargo to a range of orbits and landing sites on Earth, Lunar, or Martian.

 

 

♦ The guide gives a brief overview of SpaceX and about the program itself.

♦ The guide gives information about payload configurations and mechanical interfaces. 

♦ It contains a comparison that is drawn between crewed and uncrewed configurations. 

♦ In its current configuration, Starship can transport up to 100 people from Earth into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and on to the Moon and Mars.

♦ SpaceX is to develop cargo and crewed variants of Starship which can accommodate 100 passengers.
