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.
