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...
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.
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.
