R
Relativity Space successfully launched a 3D-printed rocket, but it didn’t make it to orbit.
Last night Relativity Space was able to launch its methane-fueled, 3D-printed Terran R rocket at 11:25PM ET (via Engadget, CNN) after being forced to scrub a few prior attempts.
However, Terran R failed to reach orbit, as the second stage engine sputtered out several minutes into the flight. Relativity called the launch “a huge win” and said, “We will assess flight data and provide public updates over the coming days.”
