About Relativity Space

At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.

The engine manufacturing department’s mission is to produce high‑performing products and manufacturing systems by continuously innovating on cost, quality, and lead time. Through cross‑functional collaboration, high levels of accountability, and a focus on safety we support the Terran R program. We are responsible for providing design feedback on new hardware iterations, developing new manufacturing methods and systems, and ultimately building engine and vehicle hardware for testing prior to our first launch.

Our team’s highlights from the last six months include the MDC of the first Aeon‑R engine, completing thousands of hours of PBF printing, building and testing over 50 valves of 26 different iterations, and implementing large‑scale process improvements along the way.
