This was stated by the owner of Californian space company Relativity Space on Saturday (local time) on the online service Twitter.
The unmanned rocket’s engines had already fired up when a problem with “automation” forced the company to cancel the first one. Shortly after, the company refused another attempt to start it due to pressure issues. The team has made a great effort and will do so next time, Relativity Space wrote on Twitter: “More information on the new start date will follow.”
After launch, Terran 1 is expected to reach low Earth orbit within eight minutes. The purpose of the first test flight is to collect data and demonstrate that a 3D-printed rocket can withstand the pressures of launch and travel.
85 percent of the rocket’s mass is 3D-printed from metal alloys. According to the operating company, “Terran 1” is the largest object ever produced with a 3D printer.
“In the long run, the biggest benefit of 3D printing is its incredible cost-effectiveness, radical flexibility, and ability to democratize space travel faster due to its customization,” says Relativity Space. A rocket made in this way can be made from raw materials in just 60 days.
