Redwire Successfully Delivers Onboard Computer for ESA's Comet Interceptor Mission to Study Pristine Comet
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space infrastructure for the next generation space economy, announced today that it has successfully delivered the onboard computer for the European Space Agency's (ESA) Comet Interceptor mission. Redwire developed and delivered the onboard computer through a contract with OHB Italia S.p.A. (OHB Italy). ESA's Comet Interceptor will be the first spacecraft to visit a comet coming directly from the outer reaches of the Sun, carrying material untouched since the dawn of the Solar System. Redwire's wholly owned Belgian subsidiary, Redwire Space NV, developed the onboard computer, which is the 'brain' of Comet Interceptor. It is designed to monitor and control other spacecraft components, including transmitting critical data to operators on the ground. The onboard computer is part of Redwire's third generation Advanced Data and Power Management System (ADPMS-3). 'We are proud to have accomplished this exciting milestone alongside our partners OHB Italy and ESA, which brings the first-of-its-kind Comet Interceptor mission one step closer to launch,' said Mike Gold, Redwire President of Civil and International Space Business. 'With 25 years of flight heritage, a strong track record of success, and the Redwire team's unparalleled avionics expertise, Redwire's ADPMS-3 is a critical, enabling technology for today's most ambitious European and multinational space missions.' The recent delivery follows an acceptance testing campaign, which included vibration, thermal vacuum, and electromagnetic compatibility testing. The onboard computer is currently at OHB Italia headquarters, where it will undergo integration and final acceptance review. Comet Interceptor is scheduled to launch in 2029. The onboard computer is also supporting ESA's Hera mission, Europe's first planetary defense mission and part of a multinational planetary defense effort supporting ESA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission. Redwire's European facility in Belgium has more than 40 years of spaceflight heritage developing spacecraft platforms and success delivering innovative technology for game-changing ESA programs. Redwire was the prime contractor for ESA's Proba-1, Proba-2, and Proba-V missions, which have a combined flight time of 50 years without failure. Redwire continues to support other ESA programs, including Skimsat, a technology demonstrator for a small satellite platform designed to operate in very low Earth orbit; the International Berthing and Docking Mechanism for the lunar Gateway; and the Proba-3 mission, the first precision formation flying mission that will investigate the Sun's corona. About Redwire Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW) is a global space infrastructure and innovation company enabling civil, commercial, and national security programs. Redwire's proven and reliable capabilities include avionics, sensors, power solutions, critical structures, mechanisms, radio frequency systems, platforms, missions, and microgravity payloads.

Redwire Awarded Contract to Provide Critical Avionics Technology for Multinational Earth Observation Satellite Constellation
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW), a leader in space infrastructure for the next generation space economy, announced today that it has been awarded a contract by SpaceTech GmbH to provide critical avionics technology for the European Space Agency's (ESA) Next Generation Gravity Mission (NGGM) satellites. The NGGM satellites are ESA's contribution to a planned NASA and ESA Earth observation satellite constellation known as Mass Change and Geophysics International Constellation (MAGIC). MAGIC will combine four satellites, two NGGM satellites developed through ESA and two GRACE satellites developed through NASA and the German Aerospace Center, to measure fluctuations in Earth's gravitational field. The planned constellation will provide unprecedented data for water management applications, including monitoring droughts, floods, ice melts, and sea level rise. Redwire's wholly owned subsidiary, Redwire Space NV, will design and build the engineering qualification model of the spacecraft's Instrument Control Unit (ICU). The ICU will serve as the central system for managing and controlling NGGM's primary scientific instrument, handling data collection and processing and communication between the instrument and the satellite's other onboard systems. The ICU will play a pivotal role in the mission's ability to observe small variations in Earth's gravitational field. 'We are proud to bring our unparalleled expertise in spacecraft avionics and control systems to support ESA's contribution to this important multinational mission,' said Mike Gold, Redwire President of Civil and International Space Business. 'Redwire's flight-proven, high-reliability avionics is perfectly suited for the complexity of NGGM and MAGIC, and continues to enable Europe's most game-changing missions, including IXV, Proba-2, Proba-V, and Proba-3, with additional missions scheduled for launch in the future.' Redwire's European facility in Belgium has more than 40 years of spaceflight heritage developing spacecraft platforms and success delivering innovative technology for key ESA programs.
