Relativity ended their livestream without disclosing further details as to the cause of the scrub. TechCrunch will update the story when more details become available.<\/p>\n Relativity Space is the brain child of Tim Ellis and Jordan Noone, who suspected that they could dramatically decrease launch costs by using innovative 3D-printing techniques and using those techniques to manufacture as many rocket parts as possible.<\/p>\n The result is Terran 1, which is 85% 3D-printed by mass, and the goal is to increase that even further \u2014 to manufacture a rocket that\u2019s composed of upwards of 95% 3D-printed material. To get there, the company\u2019s raised a lot of money: more than $1 billion, propelling their valuation to $4.2 billion as of June 2021<\/a>. Relativity\u2019s workforce now numbers in the thousands, and the company has over 1 million square feet of manufacturing space under its purview.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s call to scrub came after an abort at T-70 seconds, due to oxygen temperatures in the rocket\u2019s second stage being outside of normal limits, but they were able to resolve the issue and continue countdown until the call to scrub.<\/p>\n There is no fairing or payload on this first launch, which the company is using essentially as a technological validator as it continues development on the heavier-lift Terran R rocket. A successful launch would go far in proving out the company\u2019s 3D-printed rocket architecture and act as a proof-of-concept more generally. Follow along with the company on Twitter<\/a> for more updates on the launch.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br><\/br><\/br><\/p>\n
