Relativity Space has successfully launched Terran 1, the world’s first 3D-printed rocket, from Launch Complex 16 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The rocket failed to reach orbit after its second stage suffered an anomaly shortly after stage separation and engine ignition, leading to shutdown.
Terran 1 is a 110-foot-tall rocket powered by methalox (methane + liquid oxygen) capable of transporting small satellites into low-Earth orbit and serves as a prototype for a larger, fully reusable launch vehicle called Terran R. Approximately 85% of Terran 1 was 3D-printed at the company’s Long Beach factory, with only the smaller components such as the microchips and gaskets sourced from other sources.

This is the biggest proof point for our novel additive manufacturing approach. Today is a huge win, with many historic firsts. We also progressed through Main Engine Cutoff and Stage Separation,” said Relativity Space.
