Terran 1 was an expendable two-stage small-lift launch vehicle developed by Relativity Space. Development began in 2017 and the rocket was retired in 2023.[2] Most structures and components of the vehicle are manufactured with 3D printing processes.[3]
Terran 1's first and only launch took place March 23, 2023 from Cape Canaveral, but did not achieve orbit due to a failure of the second stage.[3] Following the failed launch, Relativity retired the rocket in favor of developing the much larger, reusable Terran R vehicle.[4]
