Relativity Space

Reusable rocket manufacturer using large-scale 3D printing and additive manufacturing.

Relativity Space develops Terran R, a fully reusable medium-to-heavy lift rocket built using the world's largest metal 3D printers. The company's additive manufacturing approach aims to reduce part count and production timelines for launch vehicles. Relativity Space also operates an innovation incubator and Horizon additive manufacturing subsidiary. In 2025, Eric Schmidt took a controlling equity stake and became CEO, with co-founder Tim Ellis moving to the board. The company holds a spot on the US Space Force's $5.6B NSSL Phase 3 Lane 1 launch-services IDIQ (alongside Impulse Space) and, in June 2026, NASA announced a public-private partnership with Relativity for a privately-funded Mars orbiter mission targeting a 2028 launch. Relativity Space serves commercial and government customers from its Long Beach, California headquarters.
