Will announce date once stage testing is completeFirst stage of Terran 1 will ship direct to the Cape where they will conduct a full mission cycle on the pad.Terran 1 still got a shot at being the first CH4/02 vehicle to orbitA fun payload will feature on GLHFSmaller nosecone fairing on flights 1 & 2; enables VCLS DEMO 2 to be deployed<snip>

Terran 1's first stage has arrived at LC-16!https://twitter.com/thetimellis/status/1533589118864617472
March 8 with a launch window that opens at 18:00 UTC.https://mailchi.mp/relativityspace/glhfinviteQuote from: Relativity SpaceIt’s almost time. Terran 1, the world’s first 3D printed rocket, is tested, integrated, and vertical on the pad, awaiting its demonstration launch. Our launch window opens at 1300 ET on March 8, 2023.

Stage one powered on in hangar for first time at the Cape

Prop cold-flow test day 💨

Found this on Twitter:Quote from: Thomas Burghardt tweetGood morning from Cape Canaveral. There are 3 rockets on their respective pads already today (SLS, Falcon 9, and Terran 1), and Atlas V is set to join them soon!

Found this on Twitter:https://twitter.com/TGMetsFan98/status/1542149349093920768I'm wondering if the first Terran 1 rocket is in the process of being prepared for its first launch, given that the Terran 1 is currently scheduled for launch this summer.
It is quite a wonderful sight to see Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center both so busy like this. I cannot recall any recent time where so many launches and so many different launchers were at the pad at one time.

Night and day 🌤️ Swipe to see some new views of Stage 1 on the pad (including the load head as we get ready for testing!) #GLHF 📸: @TrevorMahlmann
Either @relativityspace did a static fire or something either exploded or caught fire….https://twitter.com/talkotitusville/status/1545727091752271873?s=21&t=EgzQL9BzWNO-P207E4WNZg
gm lookin good today 💫
I’m really curious as to whether the 3D printed texture on the surface affects ice build up and adhesion.
Not really, the vibrations on the vehicle knock the ice loose same as with traditionally manufactured structures. You can see this in our Stage 2 MDC hotfire video
This^ also it looks wavier across the height because we intentionally have thicker/thinner section bands of tank. It’s not the same thickness everywhere but varies quite a bit to be optimal. Still early days for algorithmic additive design and I’m excited for future improvements!

During the 1990s there were Atlas 1/2, Delta 2/3, Titan 4, and Shuttle.
