Working towards its goal of being 95% 3D printed, Relativity’s first Terran 1 vehicle is 85% 3D printed by mass. The Progress 84 freighter docked at the space station at 12:19 p.m. wide, expendable rocket, Terran 1 is the largest 3D printed object to exist and to attempt orbital flight. Terran 1 also became the first nearly entirely 3D printed rocket to fly and prove 3D printing is viable by successfully passing Max-Q, main engine cut-off (MECO) and second stage separation – marking several historic milestones not just for the aerospace industry, but for humanity.Īs a two-stage, 110ft.

Terran 1 on March 22, 2023, became the first methane fueled rocket in the West to reach space, well over the 100km Karman Line.
