Relativity Space postpones Terran 1's launch 'due to exceeding launch commit criteria limits'.
Relativity Space, the company aiming to launch the world's first 3D-printed rocket to space, scrubbed its debut launch attempt yesterday, March 8, due to temperature issues that led to a last-minute abort during the countdown.
The company's Terran 1 rocket experienced an automatic abort roughly 70 seconds before a 2:40 p.m. EST liftoff attempt from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.Rocket companies, including SpaceX and Rocket Lab, have long used 3D-printed parts and engines in their launch vehicles but none so far have launched a rocket that is almost completely made from 3D-printed components.
Firstly though, Relativity Space will have to launch Terran 1. The private space firm aimed to reset for a second launch attempt on Wednesday, though it ultimately stood down "due to exceeding launch commit criteria limits" for the fuel temperatures on the rocket's second stage, the company"We are scrubbing launch operations for the day, thanks for playing," the company's launch director added during the launch attempt live stream.
Player ready? Yup. Our next launch attempt window is confirmed for this Saturday, March 11 from 13:00 – 16:00 ET.
