Relativity Space’s Terran 1 launch vehicle was launched for the first time, the “Good Luck, Have Fun” mission, from Launch Complex 16 in Cape Canaveral, Florida, on 23 March 2023, at 03:25 UTC (22 March, at 23:25 EDT). According to Relativity Space, Terran 1 is “The World’s First 3D Printed Rocket”, with nine 3D printed Aeon engines on the first stage, using liquid oxygen (LOX) and liquid natural gas (LNG) for propulsion. There was no customer payload on the mission. As a symbolic payload, Terran 1 launched Relativity Space’s first 3D printed part.
