The solid rocket boosters (SRBs) for the Space Shuttle provided 83% of the thrust at takeoff. The main engines were the other 17%, and continued to fire after the SRBs dropped off and parachuted into the sea. The main engines perform the function of part of SpaceX's booster stage and also SpaceX's upper stage. |
