The Jupiter 200 is an American human-rated Space Shuttle-derived heavy expendable launch vehicle originally used by the International Space Agency (ISA) as part of the Phoenix Program. Currently, the Saturn V is the tallest, heaviest, and most powerful rocket ever brought to operational status, supporting all manned launches beyond low Earth orbit.
A modified version of the Jupiter 246 proposed by DIRECT and originally introduced as the Jupiter 246-B, the Jupiter 200 is derived from existing Space Shuttle components and has been upgraded since its introduction in 2010 to improve safety and performance.
