The following is a list of rocket launchers. Note, rocket launchers are different from recoilless rifles, recoilless guns, grenade launchers or anti-tank guided missiles.
This comparison of orbital launch systems lists the attributes of all current and future individual rocket configurations designed to reach orbit. A first list contains rockets that are operational or have attempted an orbital flight attempt as of 2024; a second list includes all upcoming rockets.
As part of the project, they designed an entirely new rocket series known as the Space Launcher System, or SLS (not to be confused with the Space Launch System part of the Artemis program), which combined a number of solid-fuel boosters with either the Titan missile or a new custom booster stage to address a wide variety of launch weights. The ...
The rocket had a diameter of 1.6 m (5 ft 3 in) for the first stage and 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in) for the second stage and payload fairing. [ 4 ] On the 24th of October 2019, the company announced plans to develop a three-stage variant that would be capable of launching 100 kg (220 lb) to the Moon , 70 kg (150 lb) to Venus , or 50 kg (110 lb) to Mars .
The design is an EELV-class vehicle, intended to compete with the Delta IV and the Atlas V, along with launchers of other nations as well. Both stages were designed for reuse. A similarly designed Falcon 5 rocket was also envisioned to fit between [22] the Falcon 1 and Falcon 9, but development was dropped to concentrate on the Falcon 9. [21]
Homar-K (English: Lobster, K for koreański, meaning Korean) is a Polish multiple launch rocket system combining the improved K239 launcher and Jelcz P882.57 8x8 chassis (ultimately to be replaced with the third-generation Jelcz P883.57 chassis) produced by Huta Stalowa Wola. [24]
A medium-lift launch vehicle (MLV) is a rocket launch vehicle that is capable of lifting between 2,000 to 20,000 kg (4,400 to 44,100 lb) by NASA classification or between 5,000 to 20,000 kilograms (11,000 to 44,000 lb) by Russian classification [1] of payload into low Earth orbit (LEO). [2]
The core stage was shipped to Kennedy Space Center to be mated with the rest of the rocket for Artemis I. It left Stennis on 24 April and arrived at Kennedy on 27 April. [152] It was refurbished there in preparation for stacking. [153] On 12 June 2021, NASA announced the assembly of the first SLS rocket was completed at the Kennedy Space Center.
