On March 22, 2023 Terran 1 went from earth to space encompassing many historic firsts.
✅ First methane fueled rocket in the West to reach space, well over the 100km Karman Line (only other is China)
✅ First nearly entirely 3D printed rocket to fly and prove 3D printing is viable by passing Max-Q, the max stress on the rocket
✅ First methane orbital-class rocket to successfully complete stage 1 flight, main engine cutoff, and second stage separation in the West (only other is China)
✅ First-ever second stage ignition attempt during the vacuum of flight for a methane fueled orbital rocket in the West, collected first-ever flight data.
A dream turned reality. 🚀 Thanks for playing, GG.
