The world's first 3D printed rocket is scheduled to blast off from Florida on Saturday on the maiden flight of an innovative spacecraft billed as being less costly to produce and fly.
, Terran 1, had been scheduled for Wednesday at Cape Canaveral but was postponed at the last minute because of propellant temperature issues.
The rocket is 110-feet tall with a diameter of 7.5 feet and 85 percent of its mass is 3D printed with metal alloys, including the engines. The first launch of a Terran R, which is designed to be fully reusable, is scheduled for next year from Cape Canaveral.
