For Redwire engineers, breaking new ground and developing innovative solutions is all in a day's work. In 2021, Redwire engineers successfully delivered hardware for a NASA technology demonstration known as the Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator, or LOFTID. This project, a partnership between NASA and United Launch Alliance, is aimed at developing a new large inflatable heat shield for atmospheric re-entry to be co-launched with NOAA’s Joint Polar Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2) weather and climate satellite mission and is scheduled to launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Nov. 10, 2022.

Under the contract with NASA’s Langley Research Center, Redwire provided the LOFTID mission with an Engineering Development Unit (EDU) and flight variants of the Ejectable Data Recorder (EDR) hardware.

Redwire's Kaylee Geidel explains how our technology is supporting this new technology demonstration.
