RED-Data2
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.
