3D printer rocket flops

class=”sc-3778e872-0 gWjAEa”>

The world’s first 3D-printed rocket did not enter the planned Earth orbital plan during its first test flight. “Terran 1” took off from the launch pad on Wednesday (local time) in Cape Canaveral, Florida, according to those responsible.

However, it could not reach the desired height. According to the live broadcast distributed by operating company Relativity Space, an “anomaly” occurred in the second part of the flight.

After launch, “Terran 1” was supposed to reach low Earth orbit within eight minutes. This didn’t work. The purpose of the first test flight was actually to collect data and show that a 3D-printed rocket could withstand the pressures of launch and travel.

85 percent of the rocket’s mass is 3D-printed from metal alloys. “Terran 1” is the largest object ever produced with a 3D printer, according to Californian space startup Relativity Space.
