Redwire to Power DeepSat's Very Low Earth Orbit Constellation with AI-Driven Design Platform

Redwire Corporation (RDW) has been selected by Earth observation startup DeepSat to support the development of its upcoming satellite constellation, marking a major milestone in Redwire's growing footprint in space-based AI and digital engineering. Under a new multi-phase contract, Redwire will provide advanced simulation, modeling, and design services for DeepSat's precursor mission operating in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO).

The first phase of the contract tasks Redwire with deploying its Acorn 2.0 Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation software to refine and optimize the architecture of the constellation. Acorn 2.0 enables the rapid evaluation of satellite behavior, mission performance, and operational scenarios under real-world conditions. The system is a cornerstone of Redwire's broader Digitally Engineered Mission Systems & Integration (DEMSI) platform, which supports high-fidelity spacecraft design, integration, and testing across multi-domain environments.

DeepSat's planned VLEO constellation is designed for dual-use applications in civil, commercial, and defense sectors. By integrating in-orbit artificial intelligence and sensor fusion, the system will deliver near real-time Earth intelligence for missions such as vessel detection, energy infrastructure monitoring, and disaster response.

Operating in VLEO comes with unique challenges, including atmospheric drag and tighter revisit windows, making digital modeling and AI integration essential for performance and reliability. Redwire's digital engineering tools are positioned to reduce development risk, accelerate timelines, and provide strategic flexibility as DeepSat scales its space-based analytics platform.
