Relativity Space/Terran R

In October 2023, satellite operator Intelsat signed a multi-launch services agreement with Relativity Space for Terran R missions, securing launch capacity on the fully reusable 3D-printed rocket expected to carry up to 33,500 kg to low Earth orbit when fully expendable.

• October 2023 multi-launch agreement; Terran R is a two-stage, partially reusable heavy-lift vehicle currently in development.
• Terran R payload capacity: up to 33,500 kg to LEO (expendable), 23,500 kg (booster-reusable configuration); powered by 13 Aeon R engines on first stage.
• Intelsat is a first major satellite operator customer; first Terran R launch expected no earlier than 2026; represents confidence in Relativity's 3D-printing production model.
