SpaceX New Raptor V3, V4 Totally Shocked NASA and Russia Scientists!
Unlike someone who got paid 33 million dollars each year for doing nothing, Elon Musk contributes a lot to the commercialization of space travel.
It could even be said that what he has done for the rocketry is worth many times more than the money he received as CEO of SpaceX.
And one of his most memorable creations is the incredibly powerful Raptor rocket engine that powers the gaint Starship rocket.
Not only does it possess advanced technologies such as a full-flow staged combustion cycle, and the use of the futuristic propellant methalox, but it has also been significantly upgraded to become more modern and powerful.

Indeed, SpaceX recently blew the public away with the debut of a new masterpiece, the Raptor 3, which promises to be a turning point in Starship's development stage.
Find out everything in today's Techmap episode.
But before we begin, let's subscribe to the channel to stay up-to-date with the latest space news.
In response to Tory Bruno’s comments on X, Elon Musk swiftly posted a test image of the Raptor 3 with the caption: “Raptor 3 first firing today.” He followed up with a tweet showcasing ULA CEO Tory Bruno’s comment, accompanied by a brief message: “lol.” Musk provided further clarification in another tweet: “All the small plumbing & wiring had to be deleted or incorporated into the primary structure because Raptor 3 will have no heat shield. Also, all parts have to be actively cooled in some way, so we added regenerative cooling where there was no existing fluid or gas flow.”

Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX's President, took a more direct approach. She shared a Raptor 3 test image with a tweet: “Works pretty good for a ‘partially assembled’ engine :)”. Her tweet highlighted the phrase “partially assembled,” referencing Tory Bruno’s previous comment.
On August 3, SpaceX knocked the fans's socks off with the updates and image of Raptor Version 3. The company also didn't forget to compare the new version to two previous ones to highlight its notable features.
The performance statistics for the SpaceX Raptor engines have shown significant advancements across the different versions.
The first one is thrust increase. Raptor 3 with 280 tons of force improved thrust by 50 over Raptor 2 and 95 over Raptor 1.
By comparison, the closest engine to the Raptor that uses a phased combustion cycle with methane and oxygen is the BE-4 engine, which is expected to produce about 245 tons of thrust.
The special version 3 surpasses the popular rocket engines such as RS-25 with 190 tons. The RD-180 has 390 tons of thrust at sea level - but uses two combustion chambers and two nozzles, reducing the Thrust-to-Weight Ratio to 77.26, much lower than 183.6 of Raptor 3.

Guess it doesn't take much to SHOCK NASA These Days. Space-X Should Write NASA's Business Plan For The Next Year.

[roguemajin]

can u imagine what he would have done with all the funding they gave out i get they want to try to be fair but clear the other 2 have no right to build ships

A future Raptor engine at 330 metric tonnes thrust would be nearly half the thrust of a Saturn V F1 engine of 680 metric tonnes thrust (1.5 million pounds). The F1 engine was initially troubled with chronic combustion instability causing it to blow up which the V2 rocket engine did not experience. The claimed fix was placement of vanes in the combustion chamber, but as secret as rocketry is that might only be the visible part of the fix.

105 kg saved per Raptor engine times 33 engines per booster means a dry mass reduction of 3.465 tonnes (not 36 tonnes) for the booster.

[markgarvey]

The rocket engine that take man. To stars. Thanks Elon. GOD BLESS UNITED STATES AN THE PLANET

[richb]

I can see hundreds of Optimus robots being carried to the Moon and then to Mars to do Moon Base Alpha and Mars Base Alpha initial construction. This would greatly lower the risk especially with the Mars mission. And would almost guarantee the success of a lunar base.

[kurtjensen]

Clearly. SpaceX is setting the standard for present and future space flight.

[seventhson]

100, 000 tons of thrust would be enough to launch a Nimitz-class.

[dreadous]

Wow that's incredible. It's like you have to science it up to understand it. Then simplify it to its most basic efficient robust form.

[twincams]

Elon Musk is like a real-life Tony Stark!

[randyyoung]

THE ULTIMATE KING OF OUR COSMOS, GOD OF ISRAEL, IS THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY, HE CONSTRUCTED OUR WORLD THROUGH THE SPOKEN WORD ONLY. LET THAT SINK, IN OUR MINDS. HE, PERSONALLY WILL RENEW IT AGAIN.

[JamieZero]

We need to start getting rid of the public sector jobs. It's job to do nothing stealing money that would be more useful to the individual.

[krewline]

The best parts are no parts. impressive.

[peterclarke]

Improved Thrust by 50% (Percent).
NOT by x50 - which would be 5, 000%

Please use the correct math labelling.

[garylester]

I'm wondering with the regenerative cooling if Raptor 3 engines might not pick up a slight measurable amount of thrust from the heat backwash from the engine plumes.

[Future]

With the engines and greater power can landing legs be placed and have more missions on earth

[Etheoma]

raptor chamber wall might have the highest heat flux of anything ever made... A Nuclear bomb, a regular bomb, rotating detonation engine combustion chambers... I really could go on.

[charleygibbs]

If Blue Origin can’t keep up with deliveries to the Vulcan rocket, perhaps SpaceX can make a bundle supplying ULA with engines.

[charleygibbs]

How much could Starship put in leo if you strapped 2 to 4 reusable Falcon 9 boosters along side?

[Upheval]

And the Raptor 3 parts have been HIP'ed.
