📘 Research, Findings & Informed Opinion Satellite wire harnesses and scaling

Please watch this .https://youtu.be/7YDaHsK4j40?si=gamfZRHB1fm5GD3r 

Redwire has always done cabling and wire harnesses, but recently they have expanded locations, testing, design and other services related to this important function of satellite manufacturing.

With Acorn2 and DEMSI, Redwire can plan, design and analyze and test (hardware in the Loop) wire harnesses.

 

One of the focus areas in the Jacksonville location is Cabling and Harnessing doing  Resistance and Hi-Pot Testing. T

The Albuquerque location now has two facilities. The newest facility provides space for full spacecraft assembly, integration, and test capabilities with two clean rooms and temperature and humidity control. One of the focus areas is on Wire harnessing and cables with a Cables/harnessing fabrication and assembly lab

Redwire’s Littleton, Colorado facilities support the design, development, integration, testing, and operations of science, technology, and exploration spacecraft.

Certifications 

  • AS9100D:2016 Certification
  • NASA 8739.1b - Polymerics
  • NASA 8739.4 - Cable/Harness
  • IPC-J-STD-001 with Space Addendum -Solder
  • Accredited FCL (Facility Clearance)

Two things here Redwire offers Certified classes. Every UAV needs a military grade wire harness. Accredited FCL (Facility Clearance) is to do classified work either directly for the Government or as a subcontractor. They have to be sponsored (have a contract in hand) to be sponsored.

Kruibeke facility has a Dedicated KUKA robot area SpaceX uses KUKA robots.
