Rocket manufacturing in a new dimension⁣ ⁣ You’re looking at the first launch of a test rocket made nearly entirely from 3D-printed parts! In March, the RelativitySpace Terran 1 rocket lit up the night sky as it launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. 3D printing is key technology for enhancing capabilities and reducing cost – which can revolutionize space exploration..⁣ ⁣ Terran 1 included nine engines that were manufactured using an innovative copper alloy developed at NASAGlenn, known as Glenn Research Copper, or GRCop, which is designed for use in combustion chambers of high performance rockets. GRCop is a combination of copper, chromium and niobium, and can tolerate temperatures up to 40% higher than traditional copper alloys, which leads to higher performance components and reusability. Terran 1 engines experienced temperatures approaching 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit (3315 degrees Celsius).⁣ ⁣ Image description: Terran 1’s rocket exhaust during launch in March 2...
