Starship is powered by 6 Raptor engines, which are housed within a dedicated shielding compartment. An additional three RVacs have been proposed to be added to the Block 3 ship design. These engines are equipped with gimbal actuators, and reignite for the landing burns. After Starship’s second flight test, this gimbaling system was switched from a hydraulic system to an electric one, enabling the removal of the hydraulic power units.
