Redwire has been selected by True Anomaly to provide navigation technology and space situational awareness cameras for its Jackal autonomous orbital vehicle (AOV).
Under the agreement, Redwire is providing SpectraCam cameras and SpectraTRAC star trackers customized for the Jackal autonomous orbital vehicles (AOVs). Redwire’s SpectraTRAC star tracker and SpectraCam camera will enable relative navigation, object detection, and imaging for Jackal AOVs.
The Jackal spacecraft is designed for a wide range of training, test, and Space Domain Awareness (SDA) missions in LEO, GEO and other orbits.
Redwire’s nexgen SpectraTRAC star tracker is a low-cost, high-performance star tracker that supports civil, commercial, and defense missions with navigation capability.
SpectraCAM, a high-resolution Flight Camera engineered for LEO applications including docking, navigation, inspection, and situational awareness, will provide high-resolution imaging of select objects that are of interest for Jackal missions.
