Tim Ellis is chief executive of Relativity and is building the Terran 1 launch vehicle with a payload capacity of about a metric ton.
Relativity won approval from the U.S. Air Force to build a launch site at Cape Canaveral on 2019-01-17.
On 2019-01-17 Relativity was granted a Right of Entry for Launch Complex 16 (LC-16) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station by the 45th Space Wing of the United States Air Force.
Relativity is the first venture-backed orbital launch company to receive a direct agreement with the U.S. Air Force for LC-16 at Cape Canaveral.
Relativity is performing a series of engine tests for Terran 1 at a site it is leasing from NASA at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi.
Relativity plans for Launch Complex 16 to be ready to support launches by the end of 2020.
Relativity estimated the cost to develop the Launch Complex 16 site will likely be more than $10,000,000.
Relativity raised a $35,000,000 Series B round in March 2018.
LC-16 is one of the few major launch facilities still available at Cape Canaveral and is capable of supporting Relativity’s Terran 1 rocket.
Relativity’s headcount grew from 14 employees in March 2018 to a company size where an offer letter was signed for the 60th employee.
Relativity intends to use Launch Complex 16 to support launches to low and mid-inclination orbits and is seeking a second site for polar and sun-synchronous missions.
Relativity’s agreement for Launch Complex 16 permits construction of a payload processing facility, a vehicle integration hangar, a horizontal transporter/erector, propellant storage farms, and other equipment to support launches of its Terran 1 rocket.
Relativity received a Statement of Capability from the 45th Space Wing allowing development of a launch facility on Launch Complex 16 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Relativity Space is developing a new version of the Aeon 1 engine to power its Terran 1 launch vehicle and plans to test that engine at Stennis.
Relativity Space is working to 3D-print entire rockets including their engines and has raised tens of millions of dollars to support that work.
Relativity Space's 3D printing and robotics manufacturing approach enables building a rocket from scratch in 60 days compared to 12 to 18 months using traditional manufacturing methods.
Relativity Space has no signed contracts but has letters of intent and memoranda of understanding totaling $1,000,000,000 worth of launches with commercial and government customers.
Relativity Space is developing 3D printed rockets priced at $10,000,000 per launch.
Relativity Space is developing a rocket to lift satellites of up to 1,250 kg to low Earth orbit.
Relativity Space will select a launch site in the United States later 2018.
