This presentation gives us the idea about Elon Musk, SpaceX and its mission on Interplanetary Transportation System.
NOTE: In the 10th slide click on the written part "SpaceX" for a video to watch.
2. SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches advanced rockets and
spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 to revolutionize space
technology, with the ultimate goal of enabling people to live on other
planets.
3. Elon Musk
Elon Reeve Musk is a South African-born
American entrepreneur and businessman who
founded X.com in 1999 (which later became
PayPal),SpaceX in 2002 and Tesla Motors in
2003 and many more.
4. Mars Colonisation
• Permanent human habitation on
other planets, including Mars, is one
of most prevalent themes in science
fiction.
• As technology advances, and
concerns about humanity's future
on Earth increase, other reasons for
colonizing space include economic
interests, long-term scientific
research best carried out by humans
as opposed to robotic probes, and
sheer curiosity.
5. SpaceX Spaceship
• SpaceX's Starship spacecraft and Super
Heavy rocket (collectively referred to as
Starship) represent a fully reusable
transportation system designed to carry
both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the
Moon, Mars and beyond.
• Starship will be the world's most powerful
launch vehicle.
• Starship serves as a large, long-duration
spacecraft capable of carrying passengers or
cargo to Earth orbit, planetary destinations,
and between destinations on Earth.
6. Super Heavy
• The first stage, or booster, of our
next-generation launch vehicle
has a gross liftoff mass of over 3
million kg and uses sub-cooled
liquid methane and liquid oxygen
(CH4/LOX) propellants.
• The booster will return to land at
the launch site on its 6 legs.
7. Raptor Engine
• Raptor is a full-flow, staged combustion
rocket engine powered by cryogenic
methane and liquid oxygen (LOX).
• The Super Heavy booster is powered by
37 Raptors, while Starship is powered by
6.
8. Dragon
• Dragon is a free-flying spacecraft designed to
deliver both cargo and people to orbiting
destinations.
• Currently Dragon carries cargo to space, but
it was designed from the beginning to carry
humans. The first demonstration flight under
NASA's
