Redwire Corporation signed a formal teaming agreement with Sodern to produce the Eagle Eye star tracker. The Eagle Eye star tracker will offer superior performance by leveraging the exceptional flight heritage of Sodern's highly resilient modular Hydra star trackers, which have flown on more than 60 spacecraft in low-Earth orbit (LEO), geostationary orbit (GEO) and in deep space environments since 2012. Through this strategic partnership, Redwire will manufacture the exquisite-class Eagle Eye star tracker at its production facility in Marlborough, Massachusetts, and sell within the U.S. market.

Redwire's Marlborough facility has deep experience developing high performance, high reliability guidance, navigation and control components, with 50 years of flight heritage. The Eagle Eye star tracker architecture features a modular arrangement of optical heads and processing units to enable a wide variety of missions and optimal placement upon spacecraft. The Eagle Eye leverages extensive spacecraft hardware flight heritage and possesses excellent radiation tolerance designed to enable 10- and 18-year lifespans for LEO and GEO missions, respectively.

The Eagle Eye can be configured with one to four optical heads and one or two processing units with full cross strapping for maximum redundancy.
