Relativity Space nears launch of Terran 1
Relativity Space is nearing the first launch of its 3D printed rocket.
The company has upended its Terran 1 Vehicle onto its pad at Launch Complex 16 in Cape Canaveral. It is expected to make its first launch in January 2023.
Terran 1 is a two-stage expendable rocket that stands 110-feet tall and is 7.5-feet wide. It was 85% 3D printed and will be the largest 3D-printed object to try orbital flight.
IMEG provided structural engineering design consultation for the black strongback used to transport the Terran 1 from the hangar to the launch pad, upright the vehicle and support it through the launch.
