- Genesis will carry GNSS, VLBI, LRR and DORIS instruments to improve the ITRF.
What happened
Redwire has delivered onboard computers on schedule for two ESA missions.
The missions are Ramses and Genesis.
What we know
Ramses received an OBC flight model, while Genesis received an OBC engineering model.
The onboard computers passed successful unit testing.
The computers belong to Redwire's ADPMS-3 avionics suite, its third-generation Advanced Data and Power Management System.
OHB Italia serves as prime contractor and spacecraft provider for both missions.
Ramses is a planetary defense mission. It will rendezvous with Apophis and carry scientific instruments.
Genesis is a navigation mission. It will carry GNSS, VLBI, LRR and DORIS instruments on one satellite and make the International Terrestrial Reference Frame, or ITRF, more precise and stable over the long term.
Why it matters
Redwire supplied the onboard computers for two ESA missions and is described as a leader in developing avionics systems.
For readers tracking the lunar industry, the details identify Redwire's avionics role and OHB Italia's prime-contractor role in ESA missions.
What's next
Ramses will rendezvous with Apophis.
Genesis will make the International Terrestrial Reference Frame, or ITRF, more precise and stable over the long term.
