Aeon R engines are running gimbaled testing, verifying thrust vector control systems with integrated TVCAs and the same front-to-back communication loop planned for stage testing.?? ? ??? Gimbaling is what allows the vehicle to steer during flight, keeping everything on course from liftoff to landing.? A gimbaling engine is critical for in-flight control. These tests ensure the actuators, software, and supporting systems are all working together as expected.? ? ?? Propulsion Test Engineer: https://bit.ly/3XP7rxG ? ??

Design, build, test, repeat. Or, in the words of Clay Walker: build it, blow it up, repeat.? ? Since its commissioning in 2023, our dual-bay engine test stand at NASA Stennis Space Center has supported over 175 engine hot fires—and counting.? ?

Spotted on the factory floor: Terran R’s Stage 1 Common Dome downcomer stub weld operations are complete—a critical step in building a high-performance propellant tank. The downcomer stub acts as the interface within the propellant tank, separating the fuel and LOX tanks while directing LOX propellant to the Aeon R engines. Welding it to the common dome ensures a robust, sealed connection that withstands high pressure, cryogenic temperatures, and intense flight vibrations. Key requirements:? ?? Withstand cryogenic temperatures & high loads? ?? Maintain precise process control for high-quality welds? ?? Ensure airtight welds for proper fuel flow and propellant separation We’re hiring:? ??

I’m excited and honored to join Relativity Space as CEO, and a special thank you to Tim for his leadership and vision in guiding Relativity to this moment. Tim and his colleagues have established a strong foundation for all that’s to come. I’m looking forward to continuing this journey with the incredibly talented and dedicated Relativity team. #NewBeginnings #ReachingForTheMoon #RelativitySpace #SpaceExploration
Today marks a bold new chapter for Relativity Space - read below: Some dreams are so audacious they’re worth dedicating significant years of your life to. ? Nine years ago, we scribbled Relativity’s wild vision on the back of a Starbucks receipt, never imagining how many incredible people would believe, join, invest in us, and work incredibly hard to build this company despite the risks. From first-ever 3D-printed rockets launched into space, to the next-generation reusable Terran R flight hardware now being built, it’s been awe-inspiring and profoundly humbling. Truly, thank you to everyone involved. ? Today marks a powerful new chapter as Eric Schmidt becomes Relativity’s CEO, while also providing substantial financial backing. I know there’s no one more tenacious or passionate to propel this dream forward. We have been working together to ensure a smooth transition, and I’ll proudly continue to support the team as Co-founder and Board member. ? I’m deeply grateful to be part of creating something that will continue to grow, evolve, and contribute to the future of humanity in space. Onwards!

From wind tunnel testing of components to hot-firing engines on test stands, the data collection and rapid iteration process help us develop a Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) system that ensures Terran R delivers optimal performance and transports customer payloads to designated locations. Get the breakdown of Control with Don Nguyen, Director of GNC & Performance.?

We talk Navigation for Terran R with GNC and Performance Director, Don Nguyen.? ?? ?? Did you know that the gyroscopes are precise enough to measure Earth's rotation using a technique called gyrocompassing? This allows Terran R to determine true north, even while stationary on the launch pad. ? https://lnkd.in/gMXECHeK ?
