Relativity Space shifts focus to larger reusable rocket with new 3D-printing approach.

TL;DR Summary
Relativity Space is moving on from its Terran 1 rocket after its debut launch failure and is now focusing on developing the Terran R rocket, which will be significantly larger and more powerful. The Terran R will have a fully expendable version capable of lifting 33.5 metric tons and a reusable version capable of 20 re-flights with a payload capacity of 23.5 metric tons to low-Earth orbit. The rocket will be powered by 13 Aeon engines and will land on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean. Relativity Space plans to launch the Terran R in 2026.
