Very Low Earth orbit (VLEO) is a new orbital frontier that promises to transform space operations. Bridging the gap between air and space, VLEO is a distinct, self-cleaning orbit that has the potential to increase mission assurance and enable maneuverability with intent. Spacecraft operating in VLEO can capture more critical intelligence, enable higher resolution imaging, and remain vigilant when traditional surveillance is unavailable.
With SabreSat, Redwire’s American-built VLEO platform, and Phantom, our European VLEO platform, Redwire is bringing this untapped orbit from concept to full-scale operations for global security, scientific discovery, and environmental stewardship.
