In-House Testing Capabilities

To ensure reliability and performance, Terran R will undergo rigorous testing before being shipped for integrated stage and vehicle testing ahead of launch. From cryogenic testing to structural and vibration testing, every component is validated before integration. Relativity's in-house facilities allow for rapid iteration, risk reduction, and streamlined development.

• The Cryogenic Test Yard enables early risk reduction and faster iteration by cryogenically testing components before integration into the engine.

• Structural Test Stands support acceptance and qualification testing of critical components for strength and durability.

• Component Testing verifies that components can withstand launch and flight conditions through vibration testing, thermal and pressure chambers, and other rigorous assessments.

The Portal

Before Terran 1 made history, it was designed, built and tested at the Portal. Now, this facility continues to play a crucial role - not only as a hub for collaboration among engineers and technicians, thanks to its close proximity to our Wormhole facility, but also as a center for advancing our additive manufacturing techniques.

• Vibration testing for Terran R avionics components

• Hub for advancing additive manufacturing through robotics, software, and simulation.

• Production base for Terran 1, the world’s first 3D printed rocket

NASA Stennis Space Center

Established in the 1960s, NASA’s Stennis Space Center is the nation’s largest and most prestigious propulsion test center. Initially used to test key components of the Apollo and Shuttle programs, the site has since become a hot bed for a new era of commercial space companies. Relativity occupies the largest footprint of such companies, operating numerous test stands, complexes, and supporting infrastructure. With a permanent team located on-site and planned future development, Relativity continues to invest in the region.

R Complex

We are actively building out a more than 250-acre expansion in the R complex that supports engine testing for our Terran R program. A new dual-bay vertical engine test stand enables a high volume of testing, further increasing the pace of iterative development.

• 200+ engine test operations since being commissioned in 2023

• Dual bays enable stage 1 engine development and qualification alongside vacuum engine testing

• New capabilities include thrust gimbaling and propellant densification

A2 Test Complex

Relativity has signed an enhanced use lease agreement (EULA) on the vertical test stand at the A2 complex. The stand has a historic past, having tested key components for the Apollo, Space Shuttle, and Constellation Programs. The agreement marks the first time a commercial tenant has modernized an underutilized legacy test stand at NASA Stennis, signifying the strength of the public-private partnership between the two entities. With the addition of A2 to their footprint at NASA Stennis, Relativity will be able to:

• Uplevel stage test cadence

• Increase the speed of iterative learning cycles

• Shorten time to market

E2 Complex

Development, qualification, and acceptance testing of our Aeon R engine components takes place at the E2 Complex. Two test cells allow us to efficiently evaluate components, refine designs, and conduct tests at the component level before integration into the engine. At the adjacent E1 test stand, we test thrust chamber assembly (TCA) and injector designs, running these tests in parallel with turbomachinery development.

• Equipped for gas generator, heat exchanger, igniter, and TCA component testing

• Have conducted 900+ tests on Aeon R engine components and sub-assemblies

• Achieved combustion stability verification with flight-design gas generators and TCAs

Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, FL

Launch Complex 16

Cape Canaveral Space Force station is home to Relativity's exclusive-use orbital launch site, Launch Complex 16 (LC-16). The company is currently building out a launch pad and supporting infrastructure for Terran R. Previously, the site was used for the Apollo and Gemini programs, along with Terran 1’s maiden launch in 2023. Future expansions will include:

• Payload processing facility

• Next-generation launch control center

• Centralized vehicle integration and refurbishment center
