  Relativity Space Inc. is an American aerospace manufacturing company headquartered in Long Beach, California. Relativity Space is developing manufacturing technologies, launch vehicles, and rocket engines for commercial orbital launch services. As of March 2025, Relativity has announced plans to launch its in-development launch vehicle Terran R for the first time in late 2026. ## History [edit] ### Founding and funding (2015–2023) [edit")] [...] Relativity Space was founded in 2015 by CEO Tim Ellis "Tim Ellis (engineer)") and CTO Jordan Noone on the idea that existing private spaceflight companies were not tapping enough into the potential of additive manufacturing (3D printing). Relativity was founded with the intent of being the first company to successfully launch a fully 3D-printed launch vehicle into orbit. [...] In May 2019, Relativity Space signed a contract with Spaceflight Industries, a satellite rideshare "Rideshare (spaceflight)") and mission management provider, to launch Spaceflight's dedicated smallsat rideshares. The terms of this deal were not disclosed, however, it was shared that the contract included one launch of Relativity's Terran 1 rocket in the third quarter of 2021, with an option for an unspecified number of additional launches.

• Report: Relativity Space Business Breakdown & Founding Story

  Relativity Space is an aerospace company that designs, develops, and builds 3D-printed rockets. Its goal is to automate the rocket manufacturing process, reduce the number of parts in a rocket, build a launchable rocket in two months, and sustain Martian colonies using methane as rocket fuel. By building in-house rockets, Relativity Space aspires to achieve flexibility and automation while advancing research and development through rapid iteration. #### Tags Aerospace
