SpaceWorks’ product line of entry capsules, including the RED-25 and RED-4U, provide on-demand and low-cost downmass capabilities from Earth orbit. SpaceWorks Enterprises, Earthly Dynamics and Aerial Delivery Solutions have validated autonomous and precision landing of a space-based payload return capsule through a series of successful low-altitude drop tests from altitudes of approximately 7500 feet in 25 knot winds.
The next test will be a high-altitude balloon drop test of the precision re-entry RED-4U scheduled for late 2021.
The RED systems can return up to 50 kg of payload with customizable configurations from space to anywhere within the contiguous United States in under 24 hours.
