An almost entirely 3D-printed rocket is ready to blast off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, then head for low Earth orbit. Scheduled for a three-hour launch window that opens at 1 pm Eastern time ...

Rocket engineering is shifting from painstaking machining and welding to a world where engines and tanks emerge from printers as single, sculpted pieces of metal. Instead of treating 3D printing as a ...

Relativity Space is shifting its strategy in an attempt to accelerate work on the reusable rocket it's developing. It's adjusting its manufacturing approach to blend its 3D-printing-first approach ...

The alloy could be used in future missions to the moon and Mars and can withstand high temperatures while reducing the weight and cost of components. Relativity Space’s Terran 1 became the first ...

Relativity Space launched its Terran 1 rocket earlier this year. Now it's turning its efforts to the much larger Terran R rocket capable of bringing large payloads into orbit. Jesse Orrall (he/him/his ...

Relativity Space stage 1 3D-printed rocket being installed at Cape Canaveral, Fla. If this summer's Terran1 launch from Cape Canaveral is a success, Relativity Space will be the first aerospace ...

Rocket design is one of the most exciting yet complex areas of engineering. It offers a completely different perspective on ...

What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The suborbital rocket reached an altitude of 267 km ...

The volatile nature of space rocket engines means that many early prototypes end up embedded in dirt banks or decorating the tops of any trees that are unfortunate enough to neighbour testing sites.
