The 3D-printed Terran 1 rocket will launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station later today. Here's how you can watch.
Relativity Space aims to launch Terran 1, an fully 3D-printed rocket, to orbit for the first time today, March 8, and it will share live footage of the historic space launch.
Rocket firms, including SpaceX and Rocket Lab, have long used 3D-printed parts and engines in their rockets but have yet to launch a fully 3D-printed launch system. If all goes to plan for California-based Relativity Space, that could soon change.is scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida during a three-hour window opening at 1 pm EST .
Terran 1 is roughly 85 percent 3D-printed by mass, though Relativity Space aims to make future models up to 95 percent 3D-printed. The rocket's first mission, called "Good Luck, Have Fun," or GLHF, will be viewable via Relativity Space's YouTube channel and can be watched here via the embedded video below.
The key goal for Relativity Space today is to show that the 3D-printed Terran 1 is robust enough to handle the immense forces of a launch. The company will be particularly interested to see how its rocket fairs during Max-Q after launch, which is the point where the structural loads are the highest on a rocket as it makes its way to orbit., Relativity Space representatives said reaching low Earth orbit isn't guaranteed at all and would be viewed as "a total home run.
