Last Night, Elon Musk revealed a bunch of new information about starship, including some Launch-to-orbit statistics, payload capacity, and development insights.
This was one of the graphs that was revealed, showing the total mass per one starship after 1 year, if it was launching 3 times per week, for one year. (15,500 Tons.) Compared to the total mass of orbit to date in the world!
This is another data graph that was shown. It shows the MTO (Mass to orbit) per starship after 1 year If launching 3 times per day, which comes to 109,500 Tons a year! (More than 6 times the previous!)
Another graph that was revealed was the MTO per 10 starships after 1 year, launching 3 times a day, which comes out to 1,095,00 Tons! (More than 9x the previous amount!) With this MTO capacity, were seeing way more potential for LEO, GSO, and SSO!
Released also was some statistics about starship. The starships height (Standalone) is 50m or (164ft), with a diameter of 9m (or 30ft). The propellant capacity is 1200 tons (or 2.6 Mlb). The total thrust of starship is 1,500 tf (or 3.2 MIbf), and the payload capacity is 100-150 Tons (Orbit dependent)
Along with the starship graph, they also released a Super Heavy graph. The height of the SH is 69m or 230 ft. (Ironically). The diameter is 9m (or 30ft) with the propellant capacity being 3,400 Tons (or 6.8 Mlb) and the SH's thrust being 7,590 ft (or 17 Mlbf)
