[b]Terran 1 First Launch[/b] Relativity is scheduled for its first launch of Terran 1, called "GLHF" (Good Luck, Have Fun), from Launch Complex 16 in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Our launch window opens at 1300 EST on March 8, 2023. This launch of Terran 1 is the first orbital attempt by Relativity and will not include a customer payload. As a two-stage, 110 foot tall, 7.5 foot wide, expendable rocket, Terran 1 is the largest 3D printed object to exist and to attempt orbital flight. Working towards its goal of being 95 percent 3D printed, Relativity's first Terran 1 vehicle is 85 percent 3D printed by mass. Terran 1 has nine Aeon engines on its first stage, and one Aeon Vac on its second stage. Like its structure, all Relativity engines are entirely 3D printed, and use liquid oxygen (LOX) and liquid natural gas (LNG), which are not only the best for rocket propulsion, but also for reusability, and the easiest to eventually transition to methane on Mars.
