Raptor is designed as a high-pressure, full-flow staged combustion engine burning liquid methane and oxygen. In this hot fire, engineers monitor thrust, chamber pressure, mixture ratio and transient loads across the turbomachinery to prove the engine can reliably deliver mega-newtons of thrust and fast restarts for orbital Starship missions.
