Relativity Space's Terran 1 rocket launches the world's first 3D-printed rocket on its inaugural demonstration flight.

First-of-its-kind! Nine methane-fueled engines generated about 207,000 pounds of thrust and produced a blue-tinted exhaust throughout the ascent from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Launch Complex 16.

​An anomaly occurred on the upper stage and it did not reach orbit on its first-ever launch, but it successfully demonstrated the strength of the launcher’s first-of-its-kind 3D-printed structure and methane-fueled booster.
