STARSHIP delivers payloads to space aboard the Dragon spacecraft or inside a composite fairing. DRAGON SPACECRAFT


Dragon carries cargo in the spacecraft’s pressurized capsule and unpressurized trunk, which can also accommodate secondary payloads. In the future, Dragon will carry astronauts in the pressurized capsule as well. LEARN MORE ABOUT DRAGON COMPOSITE FAIRING


The payload fairing is for the delivery of satellites to destinations in low Earth orbit (LEO), geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) and beyond. SEE COMPOSITE FAIRING ON STARSHIP

The interstage is a composite structure that connects the first and second stages and holds the release and separation system. STARSHIP uses an all-pneumatic stage separation system for low-shock, highly reliable separation that can be tested on the ground, unlike pyrotechnic systems used on most launch vehicles.
