3D printed rocket from Relativity will launch satellite into space

Relativity, the first autonomous rocket factory and launch services platform for satellite constellations has announced that it will partner with mu Space to launch a satellite to space on Relativity’s Terran 1 rocket – the world’s first 3D printed rocket. This partnership seeks to advance both companies’ vision that the future of humanity lies in space. In fact, Relativity is planning to 3D print the first rocket on Mars. As for the Thai satellite and space technology company mu Space, it has the goal of developing space technologies to ensure safer lunar missions and enable human settlement on the moon within the next 10 years.

A new collaboration for a 3D printed rocket that will launch a satellite to space

Relativity is expecting to build its Terran 1 rocket in less than 60 days. In order to do this, it has and is continuing to develop the first aerospace platform that integrates machine learning, software, robotics and metal 3D printing technologies. As a result it is disrupting the time scale for such missions – instead of taking years it could build and launch in a matter of days.

Tim Ellis, CEO and co-founder of Relativity commented, “We’re excited to partner with mu Space, a disruptive innovator in the Asia-Pacific region, to launch their satellite and space technologies with our 3D printed Terran 1 rocket. We look forward to collaborating to strengthen the U.S. and Asia-Pacific space economy, and to advancing the future of humanity in space together with James and the entire mu Space team.”
