Crimson Heavy is the newest variant of the Ghost Progam, designed with the capability of full reusablitly and deliver large payloads to orbit and beyond.
The first stage has 3 boosters with 7 Wolf engines each, with each one can produce over 300kn of thrust, for a total of 21 engines.
The second stage has 1 vacuum optimized Wolf engine which helps it deliver over 50 tonnes to LEO and beyond.
Each booster and second stage is built with a carbon composite hull allowing larger payloads to be sent up and with reusablitly in mind, can significantly lower weight and cost. On average 1 launch is 30 million, but it can be lowered by a significant amount due to reusablitly.
Crimson Heavy Flight 1 Overview
Crimson Heavy lifted off on June 10 at 4:30 pm CT from launch pad 32 at the HorizonAerospace launch facility. Everything went as planned during the flight as the main goal was to reach orbit.
At 2 minutes into flight the side boosters separated and flipped around to return to the launch site. About a minute later the center core separated to land on a drone ship in the ocean.
At a 6 1/2 the side booster landed successfully at landing pads 1 and 2, while the center core wasnt as lucky. the center core experienced a RUD at landing burn start up. The second stage shut of its engine about 9 minutes into flight on a escape trajectory from Droo.
