Using proprietary tech to 3D print rockets, California-based Relativity Space has dreams of helping build a Mars colony. But they have to get a launch under their belt first
Relativity Space, the rocket startup Ellis co-founded in 2015 after he left Jeff Bezos' space company, plans to build fairly small rockets that can blast satellites into orbit cheaply and quickly. If that sounds familiar, that's because it's the same business plan touted by dozens of rocket startups all over the world.Relativity stands out in some respects. The company raised about $1.
Ellis says investors also have good reason to be confident in his technology.Other rocket factories use 3D printers to quickly draft up certain components, but most components are brought in from suppliers via a complex supply chain. At Relativity, the rocket parts are almost entirely constructed by one-armed robots, spewing metals into intricately designed pieces that can replace hundreds of tiny parts. About 90% of its rockets are 3D printed.
