FAA clears Relativity Terran R environmental review at SLC-16
The FAA signed a Finding of No Significant Impact and Record of Decision on September 17, 2026 for Relativity Space Terran R launch operations at SLC-16 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The decision adopts the 2024 Space Force supplemental environmental assessment and supports issuing a vehicle operator license; it is not itself that license. The analysis covers a maximum of 24 launches a year, with first launch still described as 2026 in the FAA document.
