\"Redwire<\/p>\n

Redwire Corporation<\/strong>, a company in space infrastructure for the next generation space economy, announced its flight-proven camera technology will launch onboard Firefly\u2019s Blue Ghost lunar lander for their first mission to the Moon. Redwire delivered 12 flight cameras, a vision navigation processor, and two flight floodlights for the Blue Ghost lander. This technology will play a crucial role in the landing and other key mission milestones.<\/p>\n

\u201cRedwire is proud to be heading back to the Moon as a trusted supplier for Firefly\u2019s Blue Ghost lunar lander as we continue to pave the way for discovery and science on the lunar surface,\u201d said Adam Biskner, President of Redwire Space Systems.<\/strong> \u201cRedwire\u2019s flight-proven camera systems have proven to be a critical component for civil and commercial lunar missions, and we look forward to continuing to build on this heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Redwire\u2019s camera system for Blue Ghost Mission 1 provides wide fields of view, color, and monochrome imagery to support spacecraft operations throughout the mission. The navigation cameras will provide data crucial for terrain relative navigation operations to help enable the lander to touch down on the lunar surface autonomously during final descent. The floodlights will assist with object detection on the lunar surface.<\/p>\n

Firefly\u2019s Blue Ghost Mission 1 is part of NASA\u2019s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative. Through the CLPS initiative, commercial partners develop science and technology payloads for use on the lunar surface to support scientific and commercial activity on the Moon. The mission is set to launch from Kennedy Space Center no earlier than mid-January 2025<\/p>\n

Redwire\u2019s camera technology leverages decades of flight heritage to deliver proven space domain awareness capability for civil, commercial, and national security space mission applications. Redwire\u2019s cameras were used onboard NASA\u2019s Artemis I mission and have supported other NASA CLPS missions. Last year, Redwire was awarded a contract to deliver nine flight cameras, two flight floodlights, and a vision navigation processor for Firefly\u2019s Blue Ghost Mission 2 lunar lander.<\/p>\n
