BFR (rocket)

The Big Falcon Rocket (officially shortened to BFR ) is a privately-funded , fully-reusable launch vehicle and spacecraft system in development by SpaceX . The overall space vehicle architecture includes both launch vehicle and spacecraft, as well as ground infrastructure for rapid launch and relaunch , and zero-gravity propellant transfer technology to be deployed in low Earth orbit (LEO). The payload capacity to Earth orbit of at least 100,000 kg (220,000 lb) makes BFR a super heavy-lift launch vehicle . The first orbital flight is tentatively planned for 2020. [6]

BFR [1] : 2:35 is SpaceX 's privately-funded next-generation launch vehicle and spacecraft announced by Elon Musk in September 2017. [3] [4] It includes reusable launch vehicles and spacecraft that are intended by SpaceX to replace all of the company's current hardware by the early 2020s, ground infrastructure for rapid launch and relaunch , and zero-gravity propellant transfer technology to be deployed in low Earth orbit . The new vehicles are much larger than the existing SpaceX fleet, and the large payload to low-Earth orbit (LEO) of 150,000  kg (330,000  lb ) when flying reusable, or 250,000  kg (550,000  lb ) when flying in expendable mode , make it a super heavy-lift launch vehicle .
