Abstract:

The development of reusable launch vehicles is the persistent pursuit of aerospace industry. Although the first flight of the fully reusable SpaceX two-stage heavy-lift starship was successfully launched， the starship was ultimately self-destructed due to the loss of control in the subsequent flight. After reviewing evolutionary design and the first flight experience of the heavy-lift starship， this paper analyzed the application modes of the heavy-lift starship based on the overall scheme， identified the key technologies involved， and summarized its impact on aerospace industry. Finally， the enlightenment and suggestions of the heavy-lift starship’s achievements to China’s aerospace industry are provided.
