Spicy Macaroni Flame Diverter Relativity Space 2023-08-09 | On a scale from mild to spicy, we choose spicyyy. 🌶️ Playfully dubbed the “spicy macaroni” this flame diverter enabled our component test team to execute a turbine nozzle test campaign from build to tear-down within a week. Alternative test options included lengthy and expensive stand modifications. The “spicy macaroni” is just one example of how our test team: ✔️ Doesn’t overcomplicate our systems ✔️ Doesn’t over-spend ✔️ Doesn’t over-engineer ✔️ Does remain focused on the task at hand: collecting the data we need to build a 3D-printed reusable rocket engine Explore careers at Relativity: relativityspace.com/careers Follow on social: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/relativitys...

Terran 1: Milestone Moments on the Way to Launch Relativity Space 2023-04-12 | Through the design, development, production, testing, and launch of Terran 1, Relativity has proven a major hypothesis that is central to the business vision: 3D printed rockets are structurally viable, capable of withstanding maximum stresses during flight. The journey to Terran 1’s launch demonstrated our ability to design, analyze, develop, complete qualification, acceptance, and certification programs, and ultimately fly an orbital class 3D printed rocket into space. The experience, learnings, proof points, and data gathered during this program are a major step toward development of our large reusable rocket, Terran R. Learn more about Terran 1’s first flight and how we’re optimizing learnings for our next generation 3D printed reusable rocket Terran R: relativityspace.com/terran-r Follow along on social: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/relativitys...
