Space computing, radios, microwave electronics showcased at satshow week 2026. March 30, 2026 Technology Editor Military Embedded Systems WASHINGTON, D.C. SatShow week 2026 put a spotlight on the hardware behind modern space operations, with exhibitors showing everything from onboard computers and power modules to anti-jamming antennas, software-defined radios, and virtual ground systems. One of the biggest themes on the show floor was the push to do more computing in space. Microchip's aerospace and defense material pointed to that trend through its broader lineup of processors, memory, power-management devices, and radio frequency components for aviation, defense, and spacecraft. That same push showed up in products built around Microchip's PIC64 High-Performance Spaceflight Computing processor. Moog, for example, showed its Cascade single-board computer, which is designed to handle both payload processing and spacecraft bus functions on one board. IDEAS-TEK also highlighted a compact VNX+ module based on the same processor, aimed at giving smaller systems more computing and data-handling capacity. Frontgrade Technologies showed how that trend is moving into smaller embedded hardware. The company featured compact computing boards and a power supply module built for size-, weight-, and power-constrained missions. The products were aimed at uses such as payload processing, command-and-control, telemetry, graphics, and artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads in space systems and uncrewed platforms. Communications hardware was another major focus. L3Harris highlighted high-data-rate transmitters and a modular software-defined radio intended for a wide range of missions, from low Earth orbit to cislunar and deep-space operations. The company's material emphasized flexible radios that can be reconfigured on orbit and used across multiple frequency bands, reflecting a broader push toward spacecraft that can adapt after launch instead of being locked into one fixed setup. At a larger network level, SES Space & Defense promoted its O3b mPOWER system as a way to provide fast, low-latency satellite communications with steerable beams and redundant paths. WORK Microwave, meanwhile, focused on the ground side of the equation, showing a virtualized ground-station approach meant to let operators manage key functions through software rather than relying as heavily on dedicated hardware at each site. Kratos General Microwave's exhibit showcased another layer of the space stack: the microwave electronics that help make satellite links work in the first place. They displayed synthesizers, up/downconverters, and other components tied to satellite communications, radar, electronic warfare, navigation warfare, and uncrewed systems. The show floor also reflected growing concern about operating in a contested electromagnetic environment. Calian promoted global navigation satellite system products built to help systems keep working when signals are jammed, spoofed, or disrupted. Taken together, the exhibits suggested that this year's show was not just about satellites in orbit. It was also about the electronics, radios, processors, and protection systems that make those satellites more useful - and harder to disrupt.

Redwire awarded contract to deliver ELSA high-performance, low-mass Solar Arrays to Moog Inc. for national security program. 24 Marzo 2026 JACKSONVILLE, Fla.-(BUSINESS WIRE)-$RDW-Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a global leader in aerospace and defense technology solutions, today announced it has been awarded a $12.8 million contract to deliver Extensible Low-Profile Solar Array (ELSA) wings to Moog, Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B). The wings will be integrated with Moog's METEOR satellite bus in support of a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) mission for an undisclosed national security customer. This marks the first sale of Redwire's ELSA, a new high-performance, low-mass solar array product. ELSA expands Redwire's power technology portfolio to support customers with low to medium-power applications across all orbits, including volume production programs with faster delivery timelines. In addition to the system design, manufacturing, testing, and flight hardware delivery of ELSA wings for this contract, Redwire's ELSA solar array wings have been baselined by Moog as a standard component of their METEOR ESPA-Grande satellite bus. METEOR is all-orbit capable and available for use on a wide variety of missions and flight profiles, including pathfinder constellation missions and other disaggregated architectures. "ELSA brings together Redwire's deep heritage and excellent solar array performance with a design optimized for volume production, enabling customers to field capable constellations faster and more efficiently," said Mike Gold, President of Redwire's Space business segment. "We are excited to work together with Moog to deliver reliable, robust, and affordable power." "These solar arrays boost the adaptability of Moog's satellite buses, allowing us to offer more flexible, modular solutions that directly support evolving customer missions," said Bob McArthur, Moog Space Vehicles General Manager. ELSA is designed for customers who need to minimize solar array stowed volume and mass, while remaining competitive with conventional solar array performance and pricing. Specifically, ELSA provides up to 50% more power by volume than our traditional solar arrays. Engineered for volume production, ELSA offers a significant improvement in modular, scalable design and rapid turnaround to drive down cost and improve delivery times. Redwire is a market leader in space power solutions, with a proven track record of innovation and on-orbit success. Redwire's Roll-Out Solar Arrays (ROSA) have a 100% on-orbit success rate on flagship space missions, including the International Space Station and NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission. Redwire is also manufacturing multiple arrays for Thales Alenia Space's Space INSPIRE satellites and Blue Origin's multi-orbit space mobility platform, Blue Ring.
