At first, the flight went according to schedule.. So, Terran 1 successfully withstood the part of the launch, when the load on the launch vehicle reaches its maximum. In addition, the first and second stages of the rocket successfully separated.

But then problems arose and the upper stage of the launch vehicle could not enter orbit..

“No one has ever attempted to launch a 3D printed rocket into orbit, and while we haven’t fully done so today, we have collected enough data to show that 3D printed rockets are viable,” Arva said..

Recall that recently Japan made a new attempt to test launch the latest H3 launch vehicle, but it ended in failure.. Rocket second stage engines did not turn on.
