Relativity Space

Congratulations to propulsion engineers Isabel Sheff and Matt Clancy for being named to Payload’s 30-under-30 Pioneers! 🚀 From launching Terran 1 to designing and testing Aeon R engines for Terran R, they’re pushing the boundaries of space innovation. 🗞️ https://lnkd.in/gkPVizhZ

From wind tunnel testing of components to hot-firing engines on test stands, the data collection and rapid iteration process help us develop a Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) system that ensures Terran R delivers optimal performance and transports customer payloads to designated locations. Get the breakdown of Control with Don Nguyen, Director of GNC & Performance. 

We talk Navigation for Terran R with GNC and Performance Director, Don Nguyen.     💡 Did you know that the gyroscopes are precise enough to measure Earth's rotation using a technique called gyrocompassing? This allows Terran R to determine true north, even while stationary on the launch pad.   https://lnkd.in/gMXECHeK  

⭐ We’re proud to be named as one of Fast Company’s 100 Best Workplaces for Innovators!    A big congratulations to all our team members across the country—from manufacturing Terran R in Long Beach, CA, to hot fires in Stennis, MS, and preparing to launch from Cape Canaveral, FL. We’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible every day.    https://lnkd.in/dJJEm8K4  #FCBestWorkplaces 

Build update: It's been one year since we announced the historic A2 test stand as the home for stage testing of Terran R, and the transformation is well underway. New propellant farms are currently beginning to take shape.    Swipe to see the end goal. 🚀 

Applications for our 2025 Spring and Summer internships are now open!    Meet Saumya S., who successfully transitioned from intern to full-time team member on our Guidance, Navigation, and Control team.    🚀 https://lnkd.in/dXkAYQAA  

At our core, we're a customer-centric rocket company. But what does that really mean? It means that, from day one, we engineered Terran R with the “just right” goldilocks combination of payload capacity, launch frequency, and mass-to-orbit efficiency. Designed to meet real customer needs for LEO and beyond, Terran R isn't just another rocket—it's the solution the market has been waiting for.    💡 Industry analysts predict that over 20,000 satellites will need to reach space by 2030, and they’ll need a ride. With most payloads consisting of a dozen or more satellites, each with masses up to 1000kg, Terran R steps in with the capability to launch up to 23,500kg into orbit.    🚀 https://bit.ly/TerranR 

Welcome to the MET Lab. We’re going behind the scenes of tensile coupon testing with materials engineer Mikaila Risser. This is one of the first tests in a component's journey, ensuring quality of materials used in production and helping set the foundation for success in our manufacturing process.

We’re going back to the whiteboard with Director of GNC and Performance, Don Nguyen, as he breaks down Guidance in Terran R’s launch, ascent, and reentry. Want to help get Terran R to orbit and back? The team is hiring.  💫 https://bit.ly/3MBZkPj 💫 https://bit.ly/3yTzumr 💫 https://bit.ly/3SYSYge

We had the pleasure of hosting Congressman Robert Garcia and his staff at our Long Beach headquarters, right in the heart of #SpaceBeach. We proudly shared a glimpse of Terran R's progress and the factory floor that will bring it to life. Thank you for your support and for stopping by!
