Business Wire
Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space
infrastructure for the next generation space economy, announced
today the opening of the company’s new manufacturing facility in
Longmont, Colorado.
The new, state-of-the-art Longmont facility features 26,000
square feet of high-bay manufacturing, integration, and testing
floor space as well as an advanced RF testing chamber for installed
performance testing of RF payloads. With the new facility, Redwire
is expanding its footprint in Longmont by 70 percent, bringing the
total workable area to just under 65,000 square feet. This
cutting-edge facility will enable further high-volume design,
manufacturing, and testing of a variety of space-based antenna
hardware and large-scale deployable structures for use in low-Earth
orbit (LEO) and beyond for government and commercial customers.
“The new Longmont facility will enable Redwire to manufacture
more RF Systems and provide our customers with new, expanded
integration and testing capabilities,” said Redwire Space Systems
President Adam Biskner. “The Redwire team in Longmont has already
delivered antennas supporting over 50 spacecraft for a national
security constellation being developed, and thanks to the
investment in this facility we are anticipating we will be able to
triple that hardware throughput in just the next few years.”
Redwire’s existing Longmont, Colorado, facility is home to
several of the company’s rapidly expanding programs, including
production of Link 16 antennas for a constellation of national
security LEO satellites meant to give warfighters beyond
line-of-sight communications and secure, anti-jam tactical data
networks. The facility also develops large, deployable structures,
including a solar sail for NASA’s Solar Cruiser program.
Redwire will celebrate the opening of the new facility with a
ribbon cutting event the afternoon of January 30. The event will
include technology demonstrations and remarks delivered by:
- Adam Biskner, President, Space Systems, Redwire
- Robert Beletic, Aerospace and Defense Industry Manager for the
Colorado Office of Economic Development and International
Trade
- Les Johnson, Principal Investigator, Solar Cruiser, NASA’s
Marshall Space Flight Center
- Bruce Davis, General Manager, Longmont, Redwire
A livestream of the remarks can be viewed at this link starting
at 1:15 pm Mountain Time:
