Relativity Space has launched its 3D printed rocket, Terran 1.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The two-stage rocket lifted off from a launchpad at Cape Canaveral, FL, on March 22. It failed about four minutes into the flight, shortly after the rocket\u2019s first stage dropped away.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There was a problem with the rocket\u2019s second stage, which would have carried its payload to orbit, according to the company\u2019s launch director, Clay Walker.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Terran 1 is a two-stage expendable rocket that was not carrying people or a customer payload. It stands 110-feet tall and is 7.5-feet wide. It was 85% 3D printed and is the largest 3D-printed object to try orbital flight.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n IMEG provided structural engineering design consulting for the black strongback used to transport the Terran 1 from the hangar to the launch pad, upright the vehicle and support it through the launch.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Learn <\/span>more<\/span><\/a>.
