The first is that the company has extended its launch capabilities with the United States Air Force at the Vandenberg Air Force Base. In addition, the California-based company has announced that Iridium Communications, Inc. has signed a launch contract to deliver satellites into orbit. Finally, Relativity Space has appointed a new Chief Financial Officer, Muhammad Shahzad.<\/p>\n<h2>Launch activities on both coasts<\/h2>\n<p>Taking a closer look at its collaboration with the U.S. Air Force, Relativity has signed a Right of Entry (RoE) Agreement with the Air Force\u2019s 30th Space Wing to pursue the development of rocket launch facilities at the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The RoE enables Relativity and the 30th Space Wing to determine the viability of conducting launch operations at the base, at a location that currently consists of Building 330 and adjacent land.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement marks a significant expansion for the company\u2019s launch capabilities, which were previously focused on the East Coast. Now, customers will have access to a range of orbital inclinations, including polar and Sun Synchronous orbits (SSO), as well as LEO, MEO, GEO and low inclination orbits at the company\u2019s Cape Canaveral LC-16 launch site.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox-upload.oss-us-east-1.aliyuncs.com\/image\/2020\/11\/bUryEf.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re honored to begin this partnership with the 30th Space Wing and join the exclusive group of private space companies able to conduct launches at Vandenberg,\u201d said Tim Ellis, CEO of Relativity. \u201cThe West Coast launch facilities allow Relativity to provide affordable access to polar and sun sync orbits that are critical for both government and commercial customers. The geographic southerly position of B-330 at Vandenberg offers schedule certainty and increased launch frequency that will be advantageous to our Terran 1 customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following the assessment, and if the Vandenberg Air Force Base is approved, the B-330 launch site at the base will be capable of supporting Relativity\u2019s Terran 1 rocket, the first and only entirely 3D printed launch rocket.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eaeaea7a; padding: 15px 30px; overflow-wrap: break-word; display: flex; align-items: center; border-radius: 4px; box-shadow: -1px 4px 20px 0px #dedede; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1; padding-right: 30px;\">\n<h4 style=\"margin-bottom: 14px;\">Manufacturing on Demand<\/h4>\n<div style=\"display: block;\">Online manufacturing service that meets your most stringent requirements.

The contract includes flexible timing for up to six dedicated launches to deploy Iridium\u2019s ground spare satellites to low Earth orbit. The contracted launches will be scheduled on an \u201cas-needed basis\u201d and are planned to start in 2023 at the earliest. The launches will rely on the Terran 1 3D printed launch vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Iridium\u2019s satellite constellation consists of 66 operational satellites and nine in-orbit spares. The company also has six ground spare satellites, which are now in storage, ready to be deployed if needed. If and when the time comes to launch a ground spare satellite into LEO, Relativity will use its Terran 1 rocket for the mission. The nature of Relativity\u2019s agile rocket production will enable these ground spare deployments to be planned on the fly, so to speak, taking just months to prepare.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe upgraded Iridium satellite constellation is operating incredibly well, but it\u2019s prudent to have a cost-effective launch option available for future spare delivery,\u201d commented Matt Desch CEO of Iridium. \u00a0\u201cRelativity\u2019s Terran 1 fits our launch needs to LEO well from both a price, responsiveness and capability perspective. And we know based on our previous experience that there are great benefits to engaging with a provider early on during development of the launch vehicle and it evolving around our particular needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox-upload.oss-us-east-1.aliyuncs.com\/image\/2020\/11\/y2Y36n.jpg\" \/> Relativity\u2019s Stargate <a href=\"\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3D print<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ing<\/a> system for rocket manufacturing<\/p>\n<h2>Relativity welcomes new CFO<\/h2>\n<p>Last but not least, Relativity has announced the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer, Muhammad Shahzad, who brings to the role 15 years of finance and capital markets experience as well as a background in financial planning, operations, management and strategy and the <a href=\"\/news\/topics\/insights\/technologies\/\">technology industry<\/a>.

Mo brings a rigorous yet uniquely fresh approach to the CFO role that will add to the diverse leadership team we are building at Relativity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At Relativity, Shahzad will be a key member of the executive leadership team, and be responsible for financial planning and analysis, capital allocation and fundraising, treasury, tax, accounting and driving the growth of the business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor quite some time now I have admired Relativity and its mission to accelerate the future of humanity in space, and I\u2019m thrilled and humbled to be joining such a talented team,\u201d said the new CFO. \u201cRelativity is developing the first and only aerospace factory to integrate machine learning, software, and robotics with <a href=\"\/service\/3d-printing-service\">metal 3D printing technology<\/a> to build and launch rockets in days instead of years.
