The terminology...
Launch vehicle
A launch vehicle or carrier rocket is a rocket-propelled vehicle
used to carry a
payload from Earth's surface to space,
usually to Earth orbit or beyond. Our
WEB-X carrier rocket
is the most powerful in operation. Standing 150 metres tall,
it's quite an awe-inspiring sight on the launch pad
The terminology...
Spaceport
A spaceport or cosmodrome is a site for launching (or receiving)
spacecraft,
by analogy to the seaport for ships or airport for
aircraft. Based in the
famous Cape Canaveral, our spaceport is ideally
situated to take advantage
of the Earth’s rotation for launch.
The terminology...
Space capsule
A space capsule is an often-crewed spacecraft that uses a
blunt-body reentry
capsule to reenter the Earth's atmosphere without
wings. Our capsule is where
you'll spend your time during the flight.
It includes a space gym, cinema,
and plenty of other activities to keep
you entertained.
