Redwire to Become Prime Contractor for European Space Agency's Skimsat Mission

Redwire (RDW) said Tuesday it reached an agreement with Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales and Leonardo, to become the prime contractor for European Space Agency's Skimsat mission.

Skimsat is a technology demonstration mission for a small satellite designed to operate in very low Earth orbit, Redwire said, adding that the mission will leverage the company's Phantom spacecraft.
