The first 3D printing rocket, Terran 1, canceled its launch and tried the next one three days later.
Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, March 9 (Xinhua)-- Relativistic Space Corporation (Relativity Space) announced today that the launch of the first 3D printing rocket, Terran 1, has been cancelled. It is understood that the reason for the cancellation of the launch of the Terran 1 is that during the launch process, the rocket exceeded the launch commitment standard limit for the thermal conditions of the second stage propellant. Meanwhile, the company said on Twitter that it would try to launch the rocket again between 13:00 and 16:00 EDT on March 11.
As previously reported by CTOnews.com, the Terran 1, a two-stage expendable rocket, is made in 3D and is 110ft high and 7.5ft wide. There are nine Aeon engines in the first stage of the rocket and one Aeon Vac engine in the second stage. Eighty-five percent of the rocket's parts are printed in 3D, and Relativistic Space will increase that to 95 percent.
