Terran 1, the first fully 3D printed rocket to be launched into space soon

relativistic space Don’t intend to stop there. after Earth 1the first 3D-printed rocket, should produce its future factory Teran Rwhich is the first fully reusable 3D rocket, also produced in 60 days. They are also created in a future factory RelativityAnd Teran R It will be capable of launching more than 20,000 kg into low Earth orbit (LEO), and will therefore be fully reusable, including its engines, first stage, second stage, and fairing.

This rocket of the future has unique aerodynamic characteristics with optimized, algorithmically generated structures. As the company’s website explains:Relativity’s 3D printing process is made possible by proprietary software, exotic 3D printed materials, and unique design engineering not possible with traditional manufacturing.” In short, by developing its factory of the future and its 3D rockets together, Relativity Space sees a great future: “We’re changing 60 years in aviation.”.

Pierre-Emmanuel Boulis affirmed: “We are witnessing a real technological revolution in the space sector. These 3D printers are the future, they are reliable, they use metal, so we are far away from plastics that don’t support the 28,000 kilometers per hour speed of a rocket, their carbon footprint is much lower than traditional rocket manufacturing processes, in a nutshell, 3D printing has only advantages, moreover So, the whole world is investing in it, whether in Europe or China. “

If all goes well, Teran R It will be launched from Cape Canaveral starting in 2024
