About
Launch Complex 16 at Cape Canaveral has been leased and modernized by Relativity Space for its Terran R medium-lift reusable rocket. The historic pad originally supported Titan I and Titan II launches in the 1960s. Relativity Space uses 3D printing to manufacture most of the Terran R rocket, aiming to revolutionize launch vehicle production.
