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!

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.

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.
