Redwire Corporation announced the opening of the company?s new manufacturing facility in Longmont, Colorado. The new, Longmont facility features 26,000 square feet of high-bay manufacturing, integration, and testing floor space as well as an advanced RF testing chamber for installed performance testing of RF payloads. With the new facility, Redwire is expanding its footprint in Longmont by 70%, bringing the total workable area to just under 65,000 square feet.

This cutting-edge facility will enable further high-volume design, manufacturing, and testing of a variety of space-based antenna hardware and large-scale deployable structures for use in low-Earth orbit (LEO) and beyond for government and commercial customers. Redwire?s existing Longmont, Colorado, facility is home to several of the company?s rapidly expanding programs, including production of Link 16 antennas for a constellation of national security LEO satellites meant to give warfighters beyond line-of-sight communications and secure, anti-jam tactical data networks. The facility also develops large, deployable structures, including a solar sail for NASA?s Solar Cruiser program.
