Summary
Relativity Space is a aerospace startup that is building its larger, reusable line of Terran R rockets in a former Boeing facility. The company is pursuing a novel approach to manufacturing rockets out of mostly 3D-printed structures and parts, aiming for production in less than 60 days. Its fourth generation 3D printer is horizontally printing main structures of Terran R in a process that is seven to twelve times faster than its previous technology. The company has raised over $1.3 billion in capital and is focused on getting Terran 1 to orbit in 2023.
