ΣYNDEO‑3 is a future European technology demonstration satellite built by Redwire in Kruibeke, Belgium, for the In-Orbit Demonstration and In-Orbit Validation (IOD/IOV) programme funded by the European Union and managed by the European Space Agency (ESA). The satellite is based on Redwire's Hammerhead platform (derived from PROBA[1][2]) and carries 10 payloads funded by the European Commission and developed by institutions and companies in Spain, France, Germany, Italy, and Luxembourg.[3][4] ΣYNDEO‑3 is expected to launch in late 2026 on a Spectrum rocket developed by the German company Isar Aerospace.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
