Redwire Corporation announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with SpaceData Inc. The MOU signals Redwire's expansion of international collaboration into the Japanese tech sector. Through the agreement, Redwire and SpaceData will focus on the following areas of collaboration: Identify opportunities to integrate SpaceData into Redwire's digital ecosystem to support current and future missions to the International Space Station (ISS); Explore combined solutions to pursue opportunities to support NASA Commercial Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Destination utilization components, systems, and software; Explore future collaborations for Cislunar, Lunar and Deep Space missions and services; and Redwire will look to leverage SpaceData's artificial intelligence (AI) for space and robotics capabilities. Redwire's Digital Ecosystem for Mission and System Integration (DEMSI) digital engineering environment combines best-in-class commercially available system and domain engineering tools with Redwire's proprietary Agent-based Configurable Open-system Real-time Network (ACORN) no/low-code framework for high fidelity simulation.
Redwire combines real hardware components with virtual simulated components and environments in a process called hardware-in-the-loop simulation. SpaceData's digital solutions such as the ISS Simulator and Lunar Digital Twin will enable all industries to simulate hardware-based behaviors and demonstrations on the virtual platform to support mission success. SpaceData has demonstrated the accuracy of its ISS Simulator by applying the same command to both physical hardware on the ISS and virtual hardware on its ISS Simulator.
SpaceData also conducts research and development of operating systems for private space stations and robotics to assist astronauts in space.
