@John_Gardi @SpaceX Yes, aiming for 380 sec Isp with vac nozzle. Maybe 382 if we get lucky.

@alexmd2 @SpaceX Definitely! It’s amazing that the RD-170 & RD-180 engines held the record for so many decades. Excellent engineering.

Raptor reached 268.9 bar today, exceeding prior record held by the awesome Russian RD-180. Great work by @SpaceX engine/test team! https://t.co/yPrvO0JhyY

@Erdayastronaut @LytovchenkoSerg @John_Gardi Booster center of mass is much lower & more consistent (no payload mass to consider), so still biases towards engine first entry

@LytovchenkoSerg @John_Gardi @Erdayastronaut Technically, the steel is radiatively cooled (not uncooled). T^4 is one of the most interesting things about reality!

@LytovchenkoSerg @John_Gardi @Erdayastronaut Rocket booster temperatures won’t go much above 600 Kelvin on hottest parts of main body & maybe around 1200K on base, which uncooled steel can handle. Starship is around 1700K for a Mach 25 entry, so needs shielding of some kind.

@Erdayastronaut The Super Heavy booster is only needed on Earth, so think of this as just “Starship” & sometimes it needs a boost, hence Super Heavy

Design requires at least 170 metric tons of force. Engine reached 172 mT & 257 bar chamber pressure with warm propellant, which means 10% to 20% more with deep cryo.

@notNahuel @SnazzyQ Exactly. Both prices are shown right next to each other & lower price is *actually* the real apples to apples cost vs a fuel car. In fact, for many states in the US, it’s way better.

@dguisinger @Erdayastronaut @DanielDavisA Engine use methox torch igniters. Green tinge is either camera saturation or a tiny bit of copper from the chamber.
