Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space
infrastructure for the next generation space economy, announced
today that it has been awarded a contract with OHB Italia S.p.A.
(OHB Italy) to provide the onboard computer for the European Space
Agency’s (ESA) Comet Interceptor mission – Implementation Phase
(Phases C/D/E1). ESA’s Comet Interceptor will be the first
spacecraft to visit a long-period, dynamically new comet or
interstellar object.
Redwire’s wholly owned Belgian subsidiary, Redwire Space NV,
will develop the onboard computer for the Comet Interceptor
mission, which is the “brain” of the spacecraft and is designed to
monitor and control other 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.
“We are proud to partner with OHB Italy and ESA to enable the
first-of-its-kind Comet Interceptor mission with critical
technology to deepen our understanding of the solar system,” said
Erik Masure, President of Redwire Space Europe. “Redwire Space
Europe’s breadth of advanced, flight-proven satellite technology is
continuing to enable Europe’s most ambitious space missions.”
“OHB Italy considers Redwire as a potential and reliable partner
for future missions and is confident that the collaboration with
Redwire both for the Comet Interceptor mission and for future
activities will be fruitful,” said a representative from OHB
Italy.
Through its expanded global operations, Redwire is proud to
support a variety of exciting ESA activities including the Cheops
mission to study exoplanets; Proba-3, the first precision formation
flying satellite demonstration; Euclid, which will create the
largest, most accurate 3D map of the universe ever produced; the
International Berthing and Docking Mechanism for the lunar Gateway;
the Altius ozone observation mission; and the Hera mission to study
the Didymos binary asteroid system targeted by NASA’s Double
Asteroid Redirection Test mission.
