Relativity Space's Terran 1, which is the world's first 3D-printed rocket, took off successfully on March 23 but it failed to reach orbit. The rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida but the launch vehicle encountered an issue during the second-stage separation as it was headed toward low Earth orbit. This was the third launch attempt for the mission.
