The first space rocket made with 3D printing technology was successfully launched on Wednesday from Cape Canaveral, Florida, but a "glitch" occurred during the flight that prevented it from reaching its orbit, according to a live broadcast. Terran 1, developed by Relativity Space, is an unmanned rocket that was supposed to collect data and prove that a 3D-printed spacecraft can withstand the elements just as well as regular spacecraft.
During the live broadcast of the missile launch, the company said that the Terran-1 failed to reach its orbit due to a defect that occurred during the separation of its second layer.
Two initial attempts to launch the missile in recent days were canceled at the last minute due to technical problems.
The launch of this missile aroused great interest because the success of the operation could contribute to revolutionizing the missile launch industry.
I call this mission "Good luck, have fun."
And 85 percent of the missile's mass is made using 3D printing technology. The company aspires to raise this percentage to 95 percent in the future.
