A rocket made almost completely of 3D-printed parts remains grounded after back-to-back launch aborts.
A rocket made almost entirely of 3D-printed parts started its first flight late Wednesday but failed to reach orbit. The 33-meter-long rocket, called Terran 1, took off from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The startup company Relativity Space created 85 percent of the rocket using 3D printing techno...
3D Printed Rocket A three-year-old startup is trying to launch rockets into space that are almost entirely 3D printed. And it just got permission from the U.S. Air Force to launch from the historic Launch Complex 16 at Cape Canaveral in Florida. Relativity Space — a rocket-building compa...
