CORE BUSINESS
The core business of Redwire Space Europe is the development & sale of robotic arms for space applications. Additionally, Redwire Space Europe also participates in collaborative R&D projects related to robotic arm applications in space and extreme terrestrial environments. By lowering barriers to sophisticated in-space robotics, Redwire Space Europe is helping introduce the next generation of space industrialization.
PRODUCTS & SERVICES
Space-rated robotic arms offered by Redwire Space Europe are the company’s main product.
The robotic arms are designed to carry out a range of functions which are widely applicable across space-based robotic missions. Satellite servicing, refuelling operations, station-keeping, manipulation of payloads, in-orbit assembly, planetary exploration, and in-situ resource utilisation (ISRU) can all be beneficially augmented with the use of Redwire Space Europe robotic arms.
In addition to providing robotic arms, Redwire Space Europe provides correlated services which include engineers to support integration of the arm to the spacecraft or rover, and a robotic arm software model for dynamic simulation. Redwire Space Europe also offers a prototype robotic arm for mock in-space operations which customers may use at the company’s facilities in Luxembourg.
TECHNICAL MEANS
Redwire Space Europe’s robotic arm has several key features.
- Standardized, open-source interfaces - simple integration of arm-to-sys tem and open-source arm-to-end-effector connection interface.
- Easily-programmable software - enables seamless programming of robotic arm
- Modularity and scalability - arm specifications can be customized based on customer requirements due to a simple, modular system
- Tool changer and end-effectors - robotic arm features several tooling options and a changer which can use different end-effectors while in-operation
- Affordable - robotic arm is mass-produced and commercially available
MAIN CUSTOMERS
