Relativity’s Full Duration Mission Duty Cycle (MDC)

Relativity successfully completed our Aeon 1 engine Mission Duty Cycle (MDC) test at NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. Our fully integrated Aeon 1 engine hotfired running at full power for 187 seconds, meeting the full duration required for the launch of our Terran 1 first stage. A Mission Duty Cycle test is a pinnacle milestone in engine development, as it proves that all key engine components (turbopumps, injector, chamber, igniters, etc.) can operate in a flight-like configuration.
