The first commercial mission to Mars is set to take off for the Red Planet using a fully 3D-printed rocket in 2024.
announcing the juncture. The two hope to launch the first commercial mission to Mars as early as 2024. They plan to use a fully 3D-printed rocket to power the journey to the Red Planet.
Previously, all the missions to Mars have been handled by government agencies like NASA. While these space agencies have pushed exploration of the Red Planet far, commercial endeavors would allow us to cover even more ground. Of course, launching a mission to Mars in 2024 is ambitious, especially for Relativity Space, which has yet even to test putting its rocket in orbit.
As noted above, Relativity Space and Impulse Space aren’t the only two companies in the race to put a mission on Mars. SpaceX has been building towards a Mars-based mission for years at this point. SpaceX founder Elon Musk has stated multiple times that he sees a future for humanity on Mars. As such, it makes sense for the company to focus on that future.
