Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space
infrastructure for the next generation space economy, announced
today it has signed a strategic cooperation agreement (SCA) with
in-space propulsion leader Phase Four to build and deliver advanced
thruster technology designed for reliable, high-volume production
to meet the surge in demand across national security space
programs. The SCA provides a framework which allows for joint
development of this advanced thruster.
Redwire and Phase Four will design and develop a reliable and
efficient Hall Effect Thruster (HET), called the Valkyrie Thruster,
based on an existing design. The highly flexible and streamlined
design will yield a shorter production schedule enabling reliable,
high-volume production.
“Redwire offers a range of solutions designed to support
high-volume small satellite manufacturing, and through this
partnership, we are focused on delivering an optimal in-space
propulsion technology that can specifically address the challenges
in the propulsion supply chain,” said Redwire’s President of Space
Systems Adam Biskner. “This reliable, mass producible design will
offer a scalable in-space propulsion solution within DOD’s small
satellite supply chain and will serve many other national security
space applications.”
"The partnership between Phase Four and Redwire provides both
civilian and military space operators another stable and reliable
domestic source of electric propulsion systems,” said Steve Kiser,
Phase Four CEO. “Phase Four's market differentiating capabilities
and history of propulsion innovation, coupled with Redwire's
mission and engineering expertise, will meaningfully expand the
types and volume of Hall Effect Thrusters to an industry that is
increasingly challenged to deliver enough propulsion supply. We
look forward to exploring all the opportunities this partnership
presents."
Redwire and Phase Four will leverage their expertise to
manufacture the power processing unit hardware, thruster,
propellant management software, and software control, which both
companies will integrate into flight panels.
Redwire will leverage its business operations at scale,
marketing resources, and extensive heritage as a trusted space
systems supplier to bring this in-space propulsion system to
market. The Valkyrie thrusters are anticipated to go into full rate
production in 2025.
