        Relativity Space, a space travel and launch company, managed to successfully launch its 3D-printed rocket, Terran 1, from LC-16 launch pad in Cape Canaveral, Florida, but was unable to reach orbit.

        Recording a flight time of three minutes, Terran 1 was able to achieve Max Q (the point of the launch sequence at which the rocket is under the maximum level of atmospheric resistance and stress). However, an anomaly in its upper stage caused the engine to shut down prematurely, shortly after first-stage separation.

        Although the &ldquo;Good Luck, Have Fun&rdquo; mission was unable to reach low-Earth orbit as per the mission plan, it was able to meet few mission objectives, which will provide helpful data for the development of the Terran program and showcase the viability of 3D-printed rockets, according to the company.

        <b>Analyst QuickTake: </b>
        The quick turnaround of Relativity Space to have a third launch attempt, after having failed twice previously (

        ), shows the company&rsquo;s dedication toward the Terran R project. While only partially successful, this launch marks a significant milestone for both the company and the industry, which will be able to utilize low-cost 3D-printed reusable rockets for future space applications, given the company&rsquo;s Terran R project take-off.
