A rocket made almost entirely of 3D parts is on the launch pad in Florida awaiting its debut launch. -based Relativity Space is attempting to launch the rocket to orbit from Cape Canaveral.
A rocket made almost entirely of 3D parts was poised to blast off Wednesday on its debut launch.It’s a relatively small rocket, just 110 feet, and won’t be carrying anything for this test flight.
About 85% of the rocket, named Terran, is made of 3D parts printed at the company’s factory, including its engines. Relativity Space aims to increase that percentage on its future versions.“We were intent on building our footprint in Long Beach as it’s a great talent pool and innovation hub, supported by initiatives of the city,” Tim Ellis, CEO and cofounder of Relativity Space, said nearly two years ago as the startup formed.
