About Relativity Space

Relativity Space focuses on producing and launching 3D printed reusable rockets, catering to the growing demand for space infrastructure. Their main product, the Terran R, is designed to launch various payloads into space, including satellites and future manned missions. The rockets are made using advanced 3D printing techniques, which simplify the manufacturing process, lower costs, and reduce production time. This approach allows Relativity Space to offer a competitive alternative in the aerospace market. Unlike traditional rocket manufacturers, Relativity Space emphasizes reusability and efficiency in its designs. The company's goal is to provide cost-effective launch services while advancing the capabilities of space exploration.
