A rocket launching from Florida on Wednesday will be the first of its kind.
Relativity Space geared up to launch the one-of-a-kind rocket known as Terran 1 – from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Wednesday afternoon, but officials ultimately decided to scrub it, despite the weather being 90% favorable for liftoff. The launch, also known as the "Good Luck Have Fun" Mission, is the first orbital attempt for Terran 1. It’s a big deal in the aerospace world because it is taking a simplified and reusable approach to rocket launches.
Standing at 110 feet tall and 7.5 feet wide, the Terran 1 is the largest 3D-printed object to exist and attempt orbital flight. About 85-percent of it is 3D-printed and uses liquid oxygen and liquid natural gas, which scientists say is not only best for rocket propulsion, but also for reusability. Looking ahead, it would be the easiest to eventually transition to methane found on Mars."It has taken a while to get here. A lot of people across the company, a lot of contract and government support to get to this point, and it is super exciting. The energy here that you feel today, the last few days, is incredible.
Compared to a traditional rocket that has more than 100,000 parts, this 3D-printed rocket has less than 1,000 parts. There is no payload on board this rocket right now. The rocket's launch will be a learning experience and may require some tweaking down the road, but is set to make history as it attempts its first orbital flight. that I have read and agree
