At Relativity Space, we aim to make access to space more open, reliable, and routine, enabling science and innovation beyond our planet. Our Terran R rocket is the foundation for that vision, but we’re not stopping there. That’s why we created the Interplanetary Sciences Program (ISP).

Science, Unlocked

ISP is an initiative to enable radically more science per dollar by building the next generation of interplanetary capabilities that make scientific discovery more capable and accessible. ISP will:

Enable an unprecedented cadence of deep space science missions
Develop and fly foundational technologies and payloads to help advance high-priority research goals
Partner with philanthropic endeavors, NASA, industry, and academic institutions, demonstrating a new model for public-private science

Our First Step

The program’s first mission will be a 2028 Mars orbiter for a philanthropic customer, which will:

Map shallow subsurface ice and geology

Characterize Martian weather

Enable next-generation onboard data processing

Conduct autonomous responsive science operations

Demonstrate a new philanthropic public-private partnership model for space science

Share scientific data with the world to foster open collaboration and maximize learning
