The Hammerhead spacecraft will support ESA\u2019s Atmospheric Limb Tracker for Investigation of the Upcoming Stratosphere (ALTIUS) mission. Redwire is the prime contractor for ALTIUS.<\/p>\n<p>This milestone marks the completion of Hammerhead spacecraft platform integration at Redwire\u2019s state-of-the-art satellite processing facility in Belgium. Following platform integration, the satellite will undergo platform system testing and payload integration, marking the completion of the full satellite. Hammerhead is Redwire\u2019s highly versatile low Earth orbit spacecraft platform, offering exceptional performance and a track record of outstanding reliability with 50 years of in-orbit performance without spacecraft failure. The ALTIUS satellite also features Redwire\u2019s third-generation Advanced Data and Power Management System (ADPMS-3) avionics.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget-layout related-content-also-read-box my-3\">\n<h4 class=\"mb-0\">Also Read: What is a Payload Mass of a Satellite Bus?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cRedwire\u2019s Belgium facility has emerged as a world-class satellite processing facility with a proven track record of building satellites for groundbreaking multinational missions, including ESA\u2019s Proba-3 mission,\u201d said <strong>Redwire President of Civil and International Space,&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Mike Gold<\/strong>. \u201cWe are incredibly proud of the team\u2019s accomplishment in achieving this milestone, and we look forward to continuing to build on this track record of efficiency and on-time deliveries for ESA in support of a bold new era of European space exploration and development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Redwire\u2019s facility in Belgium has more than 40 years of spaceflight heritage developing spacecraft platforms and success delivering innovative technology for game-changing ESA programs. Most notably, every spacecraft used for ESA\u2019s Proba missions (Proba-1, Proba-2, Proba-V, and Proba-3) have been developed and integrated at Redwire\u2019s Belgium facility. Leveraging its legacy of innovation and excellence, Redwire continues to manufacture spacecraft for important ESA programs, including Skimsat, a technology demonstrator for a small satellite platform designed to operate in very low Earth orbit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Redwire Corporation, a leader in space infrastructure for the next generation space economy, announced that is has completed the integration of a Hammerhead spacecraft platform for an upcoming European Space Agency (ESA) mission at its facility in Kruibeke, Belgium.
