Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle

A Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle (HLLV) is a powerful rocket designed to carry large or heavy payloads into space, such as satellites, space station modules, or scientific instruments. Unlike standard rockets, HLLVs have enhanced engines and larger structures to support heavier loads, enabling missions that require substantial mass transfer beyond Earth's atmosphere. They are essential for complex space exploration, deep-space missions, and building large structures in orbit. Think of them as the heavy-duty trucks of the space industry, capable of transporting the biggest and most demanding cargo into space efficiently.
