Relativity is just such a company with their metal 3D printing, use of robotics and other advances. Telesat continues to establish a world-class supplier team to construct, deploy and operate our global LEO network and we are very pleased to welcome Relativity to the Telesat LEO program.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relativity contracted with Telesat to provide launch services for Telesat\u2019s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation.
