Redwire’s Antwerp facility is Made for the Mission, delivering advanced European-led technologies that enable some of humanity’s most ambitious missions in LEO and deep space. The team developed the state-of-the-art International Berthing and Docking Mechanism (IBDM), a fully computer-controlled autonomous docking system aligned with international standards and built for both heavy and lightweight spacecraft. Antwerp is also home to the LEO Hammerhead small satellite platform—an evolution of the highly reliable PROBA line—capable of supporting up to 70-kg payloads and optimized for shared launch opportunities.

As pioneers behind influential missions like PROBA-1, PROBA-3, and PROBA-V, the facility continues to lead Europe’s advancement in autonomous spacecraft operations and precision formation flying.
