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!

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.

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.
