Redwire Robotics Systems Selected By Momentus For The Vigoride Spacecraft

January 18, 2021

Redwire has been selected by Momentus to develop robotics systems for their next generation Vigoride, in-space, transportation vehicle. The multi-phase contract will include a system architecture study and delivery of a flight-qualified robotics system that will operate on a flight demonstration in 2022. The agreement builds on the Memorandum of Understanding between Redwire and Momentus that was announced in September 2020.

Vigoride

The development of robotics systems for the Vigoride vehicle will build on Redwire’s US-based robotics expertise that is currently supporting a broad range of mission operations, including industry-leading programs for in-space assembly of satellites and robotics for human-rated spacecraft.

Andrew Rush

“Redwire is excited to collaborate with Momentus to develop a world-class reusable in-space transportation vehicle,” said Andrew Rush, President and Chief Operating Officer of Redwire. “This partnership will yield new commercially developed space infrastructure and demonstrate that Redwire’s specialized, cost-effective space robotics systems are an unparalleled solution for reusable mission architectures.”

Rob Schwarz

“Momentus selected Redwire as its robotics systems partner because of the large synergies in our vision for a robotics-enabled space economy enabled by cost-effective, capable robotics systems and high value end capabilities and services,” said Rob Schwarz, Chief Technology Officer of Momentus. “Through this close alignment, Redwire was able to provide Momentus with very high value to deploy our near-term missions, with opportunities for continued collaboration as we evolve our future roadmaps.”
