Super Heavy-Starship is a two-stage fully reusable heavy-lift launch vehicle proposed by Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX). In Super Heavy-Starship, mechanisms are widely utilized to implement various functions of the launch vehicle, such as connection, separation, aerodynamic control and landing shock absorption. In addition, traditional pyrotechnics are replaced by high-pressure cold air as power source of mechanisms. Focusing on the landing shock absorption mechanism, grid rudder mechanism, flap rudder mechanism, stage separation mechanism, and pneumatic mechanism of Super Heavy-Starship, the mechanism composition, working principle, design ideas, merits and demerits are clarified. The innovation points of SpaceX's mechanisms are summarized. Furthermore, the gaps and deficiencies in the development and application of launch vehicle mechanisms in China are analyzed, and corresponding suggestions are put forward as well.
