Thermal Protection Performance

Protecting aerospace structures and payloads up to Mach 25? We got that. Our smallest re-entry devices, RED-Data and RED-Test, serve as affordable expendable test beds to study thermal protection system performance and high speed flight dynamics upon reentry from Earth orbit. The first space flight of our RED-Data2 capsules took place in 2017.

The most recent model, RED-Data3, features improvements including enhanced data collection capabilities, increased communications bandwidth, improved autonomy, and a lower unit cost.
