Most of the 110-foot (33-meter) rocket, including its engines, came out of the company’s huge 3D printers in Long Beach, California. Relativity Space said 3D-printed metal parts made up 85% of ...
It uses UDMH and NTO hypergolic propellants. [2] Its injector plate is completely 3D printed.This engine will be used in a cluster of 4 in the fourth stage of the Vikram 1 rocket, which can produce a thrust of 3.4 kN each producing 850 N of thrust, which is lower than many other rocket engines, but is required for precise orbit adjustments.
On 22 December 2020, Skyroot tested the solid-fuel rocket engine Kalam-5 (named after A. P. J. Abdul Kalam), the first of five planned carbon-composite Kalam rocket motors which are expected to power its launch vehicles. [32] [33] [34] The test happened in Nagpur at a private test facility owned by Solar Industries, which is also an investor in ...
In order to 3D print large components such as rocket tanks and airframes, Relativity Space has created a system named Stargate, which it claims is the world's largest 3D printer of metals. [37] [38] Stargate uses existing welding technology to melt metal wire, layer by layer, into precise and complex structures that have minimal joints and ...

At 110ft tall, the Terran 1 is the largest 3D printed object to attempt orbital flight
The Terran 1 methane-oxygen rocket manufactured by Relativity Space is about 90% 3D-printed by weight. [9] The company launched the rocket for its first test flight on 23 March 2023 though it ended in a failure. Following a successful liftoff, it failed to reach orbit after an anomaly in the upper stage engine following separation. [10]
