Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a prominent space infrastructure company, has teamed up with YouTuber Mark Rober and CrunchLabs to deliver advanced camera technology for the SAT GUS mission. The mission, spearheaded by Rober in collaboration with CrunchLabs, Google Pixel, and T-Mobile, is centered on a satellite designed to capture selfies in space, creating a unique opportunity for global STEAM engagement.
The SAT GUS mission enables individuals worldwide to upload their photos to spaceselfie.com and include their city of origin. Using Redwire's proven camera systems, SAT GUS will display these selfies on a Google Pixel phone aboard the satellite, capturing high-resolution images with Earth as the backdrop. The photos will be transmitted back to Earth, offering participants a once-in-a-lifetime connection to space. The initiative is part of a larger campaign to inspire interest in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) fields and provide support for underrepresented engineering students globally.
"Redwire is proud to partner with Mark Rober and CrunchLabs for the SAT GUS mission, which will use Redwire's trusted space cameras to support a one-of-a-kind STEAM initiative to give millions of people around the world access to space," said Austin Jordan, Redwire Vice President of Marketing and Communications. "Redwire cameras have enabled hundreds of missions, from low Earth orbit, to the Moon, and beyond, and we are proud to leverage this heritage for SAT GUS."
Redwire's cutting-edge camera technology has a long legacy of success in space operations, including civil, commercial, and defense missions. These cameras are utilized for a variety of purposes, such as machine vision, optical navigation, science observation, remote sensing, inspection, and mission documentation. Recent milestones include supporting Intuitive Machines' IM-1 lunar landing and capturing iconic images during NASA's Artemis I mission through the Orion Camera System, developed with Lockheed Martin.
