Artist's conception of the Relativity Space facilities at NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi.Relativity, the company that plans to launch 3D-printed rockets into space, plans to take over an existing 220,000 square foot space at one of NASA's space centers. It's part of the company's grander push to send their first rocket aloft in late 2020.
"This will accelerate our development," said Tobi Duschl, Relativity's vice-president of operations. For Relativity, the large space allows for 12 to 24 Terran rockets to be manufactured each year, with more flexibility and a faster time to launch, officials said. Another benefit to the Stennis manufacturing is it is close by to where Relativity will perform its propulsion testing -- just two miles away from a site announced last year, pointed our Jordan Noone, Relativity's chief technology officer.
