Relativity Space, headquartered in Los Angeles, continues to forge ahead within the 3D printing and additive manufacturing realm—but even more so, within the aerospace industry.

 .

Now, they have announced a partnership with Momentus, in the form of a Launch Services Agreement (LSA).

 .

The Santa Clara, CA-based supplier of in-space shuttle services for moving satellites between orbits will now use Relativity’s Terran 1 rocket to launch both small and medium-sized satellites. The Terran is unique, qualifying as the only completely 3D printed rocket. Momentus will also be responsible for delivering the satellites into geosynchronous orbit (GEO) with their Momentus Vigoride Extended in-space shuttle service. The agreement also includes: Purchase of a first launch scheduled for 2021. Options for five additional launches with Relativity. Access to a wide range of orbits for Terran 1, to include geostationary transfer orbit (GTO), lunar and deep space orbits, lower inclinations, and phasing […]
