Redwire launches Seeker space sensor product line in Riga

Redwire has launched its Seeker product line of space sensors in Riga, Latvia. The line is presented as offering mission-critical navigation and imaging capability for space missions.

The Seeker product line has been launched in Riga, Latvia, and Redwire says it is intended to support Europe’s satellite supply chain sovereignty.

Seeker includes three sensor products: SeekerCAM, a 5MP space-rated camera; SeekerTRAC, a high-accuracy star tracker; and SeekerQSS, a quad sun sensor.

The product line is aimed at missions in LEO and GEO, as well as lunar missions, and is also positioned for constellation-scale production.

SeekerCAM is specified at 5MP resolution and is compliant with GigE Vision 2.0.3.

SeekerTRAC is specified with cross-axis accuracy better than 5 arcseconds, update rates up to 20 Hz, an expanded onboard star catalog, and the ability to detect stars down to VM8.

SeekerQSS is specified for two-axis solar attitude sensing over a ±65° field of view, with accuracy greater than 1.5 degrees, and is described as providing reliable sun acquisition and attitude awareness.

Redwire says the Seeker line provides mission-critical navigation and imaging performance, and cites 50 years of manufacturing experience.

For readers tracking the lunar industry, the launch adds another set of navigation and imaging sensors explicitly positioned for lunar missions, alongside use in LEO and GEO.

The product line also matters because Redwire says it is meant to reinforce Europe’s satellite supply chain sovereignty while supporting larger-scale manufacturing demand.
