Starship is a fully-reusable rocket made out of stainless steel, in development by SpaceX. Both of its stages – Super Heavy booster and Starship spacecraft – contains liquid oxygen and liquid methane. Starship would launch upright, with the booster's thirty-three Raptor engines operating in parallel. After Super Heavy separates, the spacecraft fires three of its Raptor Vacuum engines, inserting itself to orbit. The booster then controls its descent via grid fins and targets the launch tower's arms. At the mission's end, the Starship spacecraft enters the atmosphere, protected by a series of hexagon heat shield tiles. The spacecraft glides using its flaps, flips up, and fires three of its Raptor engine to land upright.
