Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW), a leader in space infrastructure for the next generation space economy, announced today that it has been selected for an approximately $40 million award to provide an integrated power generation system to support NASA’s pioneering Moon Base efforts. Redwire will adapt its flight-proven Roll-Out Solar Array (ROSA) technology as the core part of a power generation system that will serve as a pathfinder for providing interfaces and usable power on the lunar surface for future rovers, habitats, and in-situ resource utilization activity.
The selection comes just days after astronauts successfully installed and deployed the eighth and final Redwire-built ROSA wing on the International Space Station (ISS). The eight wings are now supplementing the power supply to maintain and continue robust ISS operations, ensuring that America and its international partners continue to lead the world in low Earth orbit. Completion of their installation marks a milestone in a technology journey that began in Earth orbit and will soon extend out to the Moon and Mars.
