Relativity Space’s 3D-printed rocket will help send satellites to more zones in orbit through a new agreement announced Wednesday (Sept. 11) with Momentus.
.
A Terran 1 rocket launch for 2021 will launch Momentus customers to space, and then Momentus’ “shuttle service” will boost the satellites into various orbits to perform their missions.
.
If one imagines a rocket like the main city bus that gets passengers to a station near their destination, the Momentus platform is similar to the feeder lines that brings passengers within reach of their doorstep. Momentus will give small and medium satellites, which can’t carry a lot of fuel on board, flexibility to reach many more types of orbits than a ride on Terran 1 alone would provide.
