Service to Earth Orbit, Moon, Mars and Beyond
Starship is the fully reusable spacecraft and second stage of the Starship system. The vehicle comes in several different configurations, offers an integrated payload section and is capable of carrying crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond. Starship is also capable of point-to-point transport on Earth, enabling travel to anywhere in the world in one hour or less.
Starship and Super Heavy are designed to return to the launch site and be caught following their flight, with the ability to rapidly turn around and launch again without refurbishment.
Orbital launch pad and vehicle test site for prelaunch testing and flight of the world's most powerful rocket. The Starbase launch pad has two of the tallest launch towers in the world, specially designed to integrate, test, launch, and catch Starship and Super Heavy vehicles.
Manufacturing hub for Starship and Super Heavy. Sized to be capable of building up to 1,000 Starships per year in order to send enough crew and cargo during Mars transfer windows to build a self-sustaining civilization.
Development, manufacturing, testing, and launch of Starship takes place at Starbase, home to SpaceX headquarters and one of the world's first commercial spaceports designed for orbital missions.
