China3D printingNet, June 27th, Theory of RelativitySpaceThe company’s growing infrastructure, which is the new launch site facility at Vandenberg Air Force Base in Southern California.With this new feature, this3D printingThe rocket manufacturer’s launch capabilities will now span both sides of the U.S. because the company has obtained the lease of the launch site in Cape Canaveral, Florida.Before the launch of the first Terran rocket next year, these expanded functions and the company’s3D printingWhile the aerospace industry is booming and the number of rocket launches has doubled, its independent production has helped promote the development momentum and customer base of the Theory of Relativity Company.
In order to enhance its launch capability, the theory of relativitySpacecompanyA right of access agreement was signed with the 30th Space Wing of the United States Air Force to begin assessing the feasibility of launch operations at the anticipated location. The location chosen for the new launch site of the theory of relativity is the current location of Building 330 (B-330) and the adjacent land. The storage facility is located in the south of SLC-6, which is the current west coast launch site of the United Launch Alliance Delta IV heavy rocket. . In addition, the senior leadership team of the Theory of Relativity is composed of long-term aerospace companies and industry pioneers, and has successfully conducted dozens of launches in Vandenberg.
Tim Ellis, CEO of Relativity Space, said: “We are honored to start this partnership with the 30th Space Wing and join the exclusive private space company that can launch in Vandenberg. Organization. The launch facility on the west coast enables the theory of relativity to enter the polar and sun-synchronous orbits at an affordable price, which is vital for government and commercial customers. The B-330 is located in Vandenberg to the south , Can ensure the certainty of the schedule and the increase of the transmission frequency, which will be beneficial to our Terran 1 customers.
The location of the 30th Space Wing, which is responsible for managing the Department of Defense’s space and missile testing, as well as the launch of satellites into the polar and sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) from the west coast. The Vandenberg launch site will be Terran 1 and the future of relativity Space provides support functions, provides a full range of orbital inclination for relativity customers, and adds LEO, MEO, GEO, and the possible low-inclination orbits of the Cape Canaveral launch site 16.
“The 30th Space Wing is proud to support the next generation of space leaders. Relativity, through 3D metal printing and robotics, and an executive team of experienced aerospace leaders, has left us with an innovative approach to reshaping the aerospace manufacturing industry “We are very impressed.” Colonel Anthony J. Mastalier, Commander of the 30th Space Wing, Vandenberg Air Force Base, said: “We look forward to Relativity as its launch partner on the west coast.

This California-based start-up has upended the aerospace industry for 60 years. It’s trying to pass3D printingThe entire orbital-level rocket to break through the limits of additive manufacturing.The head of the satellite constellation automatic launch plant and launch service originally located in Los Angeles recently moved work to a 120,000 square foot site in Long Beach, California, which will house the company’s business operations and unprecedented manufacturing plant, creating the first aerospace Platform, it will integrate intelligent robotics technology, software and 3D autonomous manufacturing technology to manufacture the world’s first complete3D printingRocket Terran 1.
So far, we have only heard of the four customers on the Terran 1 list, namely Telesat, mu Space, Spaceflight and Momentus Space. However, the Theory of Relativity also revealed its fifth launch contract with satellite operator Iridium Communications on Twitter on Wednesday. According to the company, as many as six Iridium NEXT communication satellites will be launched from the new launch site built by Vandenberg no later than 2023.Matt Desch, CEO of Iridium, explained: “Relativistic Terran 1 satisfies our LEO launch requirements from the perspective of price, responsiveness and capability.”
Relativity is committed to expanding the possibilities of human experience by building the future in space faster and starting with rockets, and has been committed to pioneering technology that enables them to reduce the number of parts by printing on the structure and engine of Terran 1 by 100 Times, reducing contact points and delivery time, greatly simplifying the supply chain and improving the reliability of the overall system.

In the past five years, as part of the engine test program conducted at NASA’s Stennis Space Center’s E4 and E2 integrated test site in Mississippi, the company has conducted more than 300 test firings for its Aeon rocket engine . The nine Aeon 1 engines are powered by liquid methane and liquid oxygen and will power Relativity’s first Terran 1 vehicles. According to NASA Spaceflight, the choice of propellant for Aeon 1 is consistent with the stated goal of realizing the interplanetary future of mankind in the theory of relativity, especially because methane and oxygen are considered to be the simplest rocket propellants produced on Mars.And highly automated3D printingManufacturing methods, these methods may be extremely relevant to future interplanetary space travel.
China3D printing Online reviews: As the Relativity Space Company continues to expand its partnership, Relativity is rapidly moving towards bringing the first complete3D printingThe rocket was launched into space to advance. In fact, the final agreement represents another milestone signed between the company and the US federal government, state and local governments and agencies. As the first independent rocket factory and next-generation space company, Theory of Relativity aims to produce an innovatively designed and manufactured rocket, just in time for the upcoming new space race, where startups have the opportunity to become a completely different, unknown And the private aerospace industry is an important new area of competitiveness.
