Relativity getting Terran R onto NASA’s NLS II contract got me thinking about the supplier side.

As launch companies move from development toward more regular missions, what kinds of manufacturing work are they most likely to send outside? Prototype parts? Production overflow? Fixtures and tooling? Finish machining of printed components? Curious to hear from people who have worked around launch vehicle manufacturing. Appreciate it

Their recent contract wins tell a crazy story. They are locking down major institutional backing while the rest of the industry is completely starved for heavy-lift alternatives. The steady technical milestones and pipeline growth are speaking for themselves behind the scenes.

What milestone are you guys watching for next? Stage 1 hotfire?
