Welcome to Edition 5.33 of the Rocket Report! Phew, there is a lot going on this week. The "Heavy rockets" section of this week's report is loaded with news this week about Starship, New Glenn, and Vulcan. Be sure to check it out. And maybe also reserve some time your calendars Monday morning.
As always, we welcome reader submissions, and if you don't want to miss an issue, please subscribe using the box below (the form will not appear on AMP-enabled versions of the site). Each report will include information on small-, medium-, and heavy-lift rockets as well as a quick look ahead at the next three launches on the calendar.
Relativity Space retires Terran 1, goes bigger. This may be one of the final times that Relativity Space falls under the "small rocket" category in this report. Why? Because Relativity Space made a flurry of announcements on Wednesday about its past and future, including the retirement of its Terran 1 rocket after just a single launch attempt last month. "Terran 1 was always meant to develop technologies that were pushing the bounds for what was needed for Terran R," the company's chief executive, Tim Ellis, told Ars.
