SpaceX Plans Aircraft-Style Production for Starship Rockets
Mass Manufacturing at Starbase SpaceX is moving toward producing its Starship rockets at a scale comparable to aircraft manufacturing. The company aims to streamline production as demand for launches and deep-space missions increases. $250 Million Gigabay Investment At the center of this effort is a $250 million Gigabay facility under development a
t Starbase. The massive structure is designed to support rapid, high-volume manufacturing of Starship vehicles. High-Volume Rocket Output The 700,000-square-foot facility is expected to be capable of producing up to 1,000 rockets per year. The move signals SpaceX’s push to dramatically accelerate Starship production and treat rocket manufacturing more like an industrial assembly process than traditional aerospace construction.
