Redwire (RDW) said Tuesday it had been awarded a contract by Orion Space Solutions to provide a Mako spacecraft for the US Space Force Space Systems Command's Tetra-6 mission.
The company said this would be the third Mako spacecraft to be delivered to the US Space Force as Redwire was previously awarded a contract to provide two Mako spacecraft for the Tetra-5 mission.
The Mako spacecraft for both missions would be the first satellites in geosynchronous orbit to be refueled and demonstrate compatibility with multiple refueling mechanisms, the company said.
Tetra-5 will demonstrate key capabilities such as docking, on-orbit refueling, and next-generation autonomy, while Tetra-6 will enable further technological advancements for the USSF, Redwire added.
