In a new video from Relativity Space, we see the first stage of its Terran 1 vehicle receiving its paint coat. Terran 1 is expected to have its maiden launch in 2022. <\/p>\n

Rockets typically use electroplating or paint to protect the bare metal from the elements. <\/p>\n

Relativity Space took the public behind the scenes as they painted the Terran 1 first stage. However, this is no ordinary paint like you would use around the house. Instead, Relativity uses an electrostatic dissipative coating. This coating helps to prevent static buildup on the vehicle that could impact the electronic systems on board. <\/p>\n

Completion of this step is just another step towards launch for Relativity. Initially planned for late 2021, the maiden launch of Terran 1 is now expected in early 2022. <\/p>\n
