Relativity Space launched its Terran 1 rocket earlier this year. Now it's turning its efforts to the much larger Terran R rocket capable of bringing large payloads into orbit. Jesse Orrall (he/him/his ...
The AFWERX contract will be used to develop 3D printed thermoplastic-based propellant.
Reducing the cost of space launches will be critical if we want humanity to have a more permanent presence beyond orbit. The partially successful launch of the first 3D-printed rocket could be a ...
Relativity Space has completed the maiden launch of its prototype 3D-printed rocket, which failed to make orbit after experiencing an anomaly in its second stage engine. The launch of Relativity Space ...
After its rocket failed to reach orbit last month, California-based Relativity Space doesn’t want to dwell on the past. Instead, the company is leaping forward with its next launch vehicle, which ...
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A rocket made almost entirely of 3D-printed parts made its launch debut Wednesday night, lifting off amid fanfare but failing three minutes into flight — far short of orbit.
