CORE BUSINESS
Formerly known as Made In Space, Redwire Space's facility in Luxembourg City designs and develops robotic solutions for orbital and free-flying missions, to support and enable activities such as satellite servicing and refuelling, in-space manufacturing, debris capture, payload management, and more.
In addition, Redwire Space also participates in collaborative R&D projects related to robotic applications in space by lowering barriers to sophisticated in-space robotics. We support the introduction of the next generation of space industrialization.
PRODUCTS & SERVICES
- STAARK Robotic Manipulator System: an affordable, modular and easily customizable robotic system designed for in-orbit robotic applications, among those are in orbit servicing and active debris removal, payload manipulation. The manipulator’s standardized tool flange allows accommodation of various end-effectors produced by third parties or the use of Redwire-made grippers
- Redwire Space: in Luxembourg develops a cross-application software stack for scalable sensing and intelligence in space. The stack is built from the ground-up to unify traditional sensor processing and modern artificial intelligence models while complying with reliability requirements for in-space operation.
- MANUS: is a lunar robotic manipulation system designed to support lunar surface logistic operations. While the manipulator aims to be general in use aboard the ESA Argonaut Lander, three reference scenarios for cargo delivery, instrument deployment and regolith acquisition have been defined as sizing use cases.
- MGAP (Multiaxial Gimbal for Antenna Pointing): providing precision Azimuth and Elevation positioning for LEO applications. The architecture uses two identical rotary joints mounted at a right angle through a stiff yet lightweight interface flange.
- SMCU (Stepper Motor Controller Unit): excels at stepper motor control in precision applications for LEO. Using a compact multi-board architecture for control/telemetry and power distribution, it can be integrated near the motor to reduce latency and noise
- SADM (Solar Array Driving mechanisms): offers precise and reliable azimuth and elevation positioning tailored for LEO applications. Its architecture features two identical rotary joints arranged at a right angle, connected by a robust yet lightweight interface flange for enhanced structural integrity.
- SADE (Solar Array Driving Electronics): an advanced electronic system responsible for the driving and controlling the SADM, ensuring efficient orientation and positioning of satellite solar panels.
TECHNICAL MEANS
Our facility features an ISO 7 cleanroom, and a thermal vacuum chamber, among other industrial equipment for on-site manufacturing. This setup enables us to conduct comprehensive product testing in-house
Our facility is home to specialized teams in Electronics, Mechanics, Assembly, Integration and Testing (AIT), Systems, and Software, each equipped with their own dedicated laboratories. These expert teams are proficient in design, manufacturing, and testing, ensuring that every aspect of our projects and products are handled with precision and expertise.
MAIN CUSTOMERS
The main customers of Redwire Space are companies, entities and agencies that seek affordable solutions for industrial space applications and missions. These solutions developed are used for orbital activities, such as satellite servicing and in-space assembly, active debris removal, as well as for surface activities, such as planetary exploration and ISRU. In addition to industrial space companies, Redwire Space also works with R&D consortiums which are interested in refining robotic technologies for far-future missions (10+ years).
MAJOR SPACE PROJECTS
Redwire Space is supporting major technological efforts, striving for debris removal and other space applications in LEO as well as on lunar surface, utilizing our testing facilities in Gasperich, Luxembourg.
