Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space
infrastructure for the next generation space economy, announced
today that it has successfully delivered the first set of wired
cameras for Artemis III as part of its production contract with
Lockheed Martin for the Orion Camera System, an array of internal
and external inspection and navigation cameras developed for NASA’s
Orion spacecraft. As an essential part of NASA’s Artemis program,
the Orion spacecraft is NASA’s next generation human spacecraft for
deep space missions and will enable humanity’s return to the Moon
in preparation for future crewed missions to Mars. The Orion Camera
System, developed by Redwire, is being delivered under the Orion
Production and Operations Contract, which NASA awarded to Lockheed
Martin in September 2019.
“Redwire is proud to partner with Lockheed Martin to deliver the
Orion Camera System, which will outfit NASA’s premier deep space
exploration spacecraft with state-of-the art cameras to advance
human spaceflight and support NASA’s exploration goals,” said Al
Tadros, Chief Growth Officer and Executive Vice President of Space
Infrastructure at Redwire. “The Orion program is critical to the
long-term success of Artemis, getting humanity back to the Moon and
developing technology to take us farther than ever before.”
Redwire is responsible for the production and testing of the
camera and video system hardware for the Orion spacecraft,
specifically 11 of the spacecraft’s 13 cameras. The Orion Camera
System leverages COTS hardware that has been engineered to operate
in the space environment to provide high performance video, still
imaging and optical navigation capabilities never before seen on a
deep space human-rated spacecraft. The 11 internal and in-vacuum
cameras that make up the Orion Camera System include wireless
cameras positioned on each of Orion’s four solar arrays, which
allow in-flight inspection of the entire spacecraft from the
docking hatch to the main engine. The Orion Camera System also
includes an Optical Navigation Camera, which utilizes machine
vision to determine Orion’s position and velocity relative to
Earth. Other cameras inside and outside the spacecraft record and
stream high-quality video of key mission events such as separation,
jettison, deployment and release events.
Redwire’s contract with Lockheed Martin adds Artemis missions
III through V, with options for Artemis VI through VIII. This
follow-on contract, awarded in March 2021, leverages the successful
initial development and delivery of camera system hardware to
Lockheed Martin for use on Orion for NASA’s Artemis I and Artemis
II missions. The complete Artemis III shipset of cameras,
controllers, antennas and associated cables is scheduled to be
delivered in the first half of 2022.
“Redwire is proud to be providing critical hardware for this
exciting mission,” said Adam Biskner, Executive Vice President,
Engineering Solutions. “The Orion Camera system developed for
Lockheed Martin provides advanced vehicle imaging capability for
human spaceflight, enabling humanity’s successful return to the
Moon and beyond.”
Building on decades of flight heritage, Redwire provides high
performance space camera systems for human and robotic spacecraft
requiring machine vision, optical navigation, science, remote
sensing, photogrammetry, inspection, video monitoring and mission
documentation for commercial, civil space and defense applications.
Redwire cameras were recently selected for NASA’s Commercial Lunar
Payload Services (CLPS) Payloads and Research Investigations on the
Surface of the Moon (PRISM) 1A mission to Reiner Gamma as a part of
the Lunar Vertex rover’s science instrument suite.
