Phi-Sat-1 is a CubeSat Misson From the European Space Agency(esa)that uses AI for earth observation.
Space Launch System
NASA's Space Launch System/SLS stands 212ft (64.24242424242424 meters)
tall and .it is a super-heavy-lift launch vehicle that will produce 3,991,613 kilograms of thrust at liftoff, it also has a total capacity of 225 metric tons and a carrying capacity of 130 metric tones. It will be one of the 2 Rockets that NASA will be using for their upcoming Artemis program (the other Rocket is Starship).

Falcon 9
As of 2020 , the Falcon 9 cheapest rocket on the market. It's probably the most famous rocket. It is Spacex's 2nd "falcon" rocket ( the other 2 are the falcon 1 and Heavy ) It's the first commercially to fly to the ISS.

Falcon Heavy
The Falcon Heavy is the most Powerful Rocket currently operational.
As of Jan 2021, the falcon heavy has launched three times, all of which making it to orbit.
It's an Orbital Heavy-Launch Vehicle with a maximum payload capacity of 64 metric tons.
It is SpaceX's third Rocket and the last of the "falcon" Rockets. Its payload to mars is 16.8 metric tons/ 37,040 lb, but its payload to LEO is equal to 1 Boeing 737 + fuel, people, and luggage.
Dimensions:
At the base of the Falcon Heavy, it's 12.2M (40.26ft), but beyond the top of the booster's, it's only 3.7M or 12ft.
It has a total mass of 1,420,788 kg/3,125,735 lb (-fuel and payload) and a height of 70M/229.6ft and a height of 70M/229.6 ft and its thrust at liftoff is ~5,000,000lb. The fairing stands 13.1M/43ft tall, it has a diameter of 5.2M/17.1ft and each booster stands ~40M/132ft tall.
Delta IV Heavy
The Delta IV Heavy rocket has been in operation since 2004 (As of July 2021 that's 16 years). It's manufactured by ULA and has a CPL of 350 Million USD. It has a height of 72 Meters, a Diameter of 5 Meters, a Width of 15 Meters & a Mass of 733,000 kg. Its LEO payload capacity is 28,790 kg & its GTO capacity is 14,220 kg, this is only possible because of the 3 RS-68 engines on the boosters and the RL10B-2 Engine on the second stage.
Soyuz
The Soyuz rocket is a family of expendable launch systems used for a variety of purposes, including human spaceflight, military, and commercial launches. The Soyuz rocket is one of the most reliable and widely used launch vehicles in the world, with a long history dating back to the 1960s.
The Soyuz rocket consists of several stages, which are designed to burn out and separate from the rocket as it ascends into space. The first stage is powered by four liquid-fueled engines and is responsible for lifting the rocket off the launch pad and carrying it to an altitude of around 50 kilometers. The second stage is powered by a single engine and takes over after the first stage burns out, carrying the rocket to an altitude of around 100 kilometers. The third stage is also powered by a single engine and is responsible for boosting the rocket into its final orbit.
The Soyuz rocket is launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and the Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana.
Starshup
The Starship rocket is a fully reusable spacecraft being developed by SpaceX, a private aerospace company founded by Elon Musk. It is a next-generation spacecraft capable of carrying crew and cargo to a variety of destinations, including the International Space Station (ISS), the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
The Starship rocket consists of a Super Heavy first-stage booster and a Starship second-stage spacecraft. The Super Heavy booster will have 31 Raptor engines and be capable of producing up to 16 million pounds of thrust. It will be responsible for lifting the Starship spacecraft off the ground and propelling it to orbit. The Starship spacecraft will have six Raptor engines and be capable of carrying up to 100 people and over 100 tons of cargo.
The Starship rocket is designed to be fully reusable, meaning that it can be used for multiple missions without the need for significant refurbishment between flights. This is in contrast to traditional rockets, which are typically used only once and then discarded.
SpaceX plans to use the Starship rocket for a variety of missions, including crewed missions to the ISS and lunar landings, as well as interplanetary travel to destinations such as Mars. The company is currently in the process of developing and testing prototypes of the rocket, to conduct the first crewed mission as soon as 2024.
Long March
The Long March rocket, also known as the Chang Zheng (CZ) rocket, is a series of rockets developed and operated by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) for the launch of satellites and other spacecraft. The rockets are named "Long March" because they were developed and manufactured in China's remote interior regions, which required a "long march" for transportation to the launch sites.
The Long March rocket family includes several different models, each with its capabilities and specifications. The Long March 1 was the first rocket in the series, and it made its maiden flight in 1970. Since then, many new versions have been developed, including the Long March 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
The Long March 2 is a medium-lift rocket that is capable of launching payloads of up to 4,200 kg into low Earth orbit. The Long March 3 and 3A are heavy-lift rockets that can launch payloads of up to 13,500 kg into geostationary transfer orbit (GTO). The Long March 4 is a medium-lift rocket that can launch payloads of up to 4,200 kg into low Earth orbit, as well as lunar and interplanetary missions.
The Long March 5 and 6 are some of the most powerful rockets in the series and they are capable of launching payloads of up to 25,000 kg and 13,000 kg respectively into low Earth orbit.
Long March rockets have been used to launch a wide range of payloads, including satellites, the Chinese space station, and lunar missions such as the Chang'e program. They are also used for commercial launches by international customers.
In summary, the Long March rocket series is a family of Chinese-developed rockets that have been used for a wide range of launch missions, including satellite launches and lunar missions. They are known for their reliability and versatility, and they have become a key part of China's space program.
