Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space
infrastructure for the next generation space economy, announced
today that its critical sun sensor components and advanced optical
imaging technologies will be launching on NASA’s Orion spacecraft,
as a part of NASA’s Artemis I mission. The Artemis I mission will
enable humanity’s return to the Moon in preparation for future
crewed missions to Mars, and is set to launch no earlier than
August 29, 2022 at 8:33 a.m. EDT from Kennedy Space Center in
Florida.
“We are proud to support NASA’s flagship exploration program as
our technology serves as the eyes of Orion, seeing America return
to the Moon in preparation for more ambitious space exploration
missions in the decades to come,” said Andrew Rush, Redwire
President and COO. “Our technical contributions to this historic
mission are emblematic of the innovation and strength of the
American industrial supply base that anchors our nation’s space
program. Redwire technology has supported over 50 years of NASA
exploration and we are excited to build on that legacy in this new
era of discovery.”
Redwire is providing an array of internal and external
inspection and navigation cameras comprising the Orion Camera
System, under a contract with Lockheed Martin. The 11 internal and
in-vacuum cameras that make up the Orion Camera System will allow
in-flight inspection of the entire spacecraft from the docking
hatch to the main engine, provide data to the Camera Controller for
machine vision processing to determine Orion’s position and
velocity relative to Earth and record and stream high-quality video
of key mission events such as separation, jettison, deployment and
release events.
In addition to the Orion Camera System, Redwire is also
providing a mission-unique kit that includes a virtual reality
camera and forward-facing console camera that will be flying on the
Artemis I mission.
Redwire is also providing four redundant Coarse Sun Sensor (CSS)
detector assemblies for Orion’s European Service Module (ESM)
through a contract with Airbus. The CSS detectors are part of
Orion's solar power generation system and will provide important
data to the Solar Array Drive Electronics to adjust the ESM’s solar
panels.
Following successful initial development and delivery of camera
system hardware for the Artemis I and Artemis II missions, Redwire
was awarded a follow-on contract in March 2021, which adds Artemis
missions III through V, with options for Artemis VI through VIII.
Redwire has already successfully delivered CSS assemblies for
future Artemis missions and is under contract with Airbus to
provide these assemblies for all Artemis missions through
ESM-6.
About Redwire Camera Systems
Redwire’s high performance space camera systems for human and
robotic spacecraft can support multiple commercial, civil space and
defense mission applications including machine vision, optical
navigation, science, remote sensing, photogrammetry, inspection,
video monitoring and mission documentation. Redwire cameras are
also being utilized for a NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services
mission.
About Redwire Coarse Sun Sensors
With an impressive track record of flight heritage and mission
reliability, Redwire’s CSS technology has successfully performed in
highly elliptical, geostationary and low- and medium-Earth orbits,
on various interplanetary missions to the Moon and Mars and in deep
space. CSS technology is currently providing critical navigation
capability on GPS, NASA’s Lucy mission to Jupiter’s Trojan
asteroids, NASA’s IXPE mission to observe black holes and neutron
stars and NOAA’s GOES platforms for Earth weather monitoring.
