HOUSTON, Sept. 25, 2025 – Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a global leader in space and defense technology solutions, today announced it has been awarded a contract from Axiom Space, a leader in commercial space infrastructure, to develop and deliver roll-out solar array (ROSA) wings for Axiom 91Թ’s Payload Power Thermal Module (AxPPTM)—the first module for the company’s commercial space station.  

“As a market leader for space power solutions, Redwire is proud to be selected as a strategic supplier to deliver ROSAs for Axiom Space’s first space station module,” said Mike Gold, Redwire President of Civil and International Space. “As NASA and industry take the next steps to build out commercial space stations to maintain U.S. leadership in low-Earth orbit (LEO), Redwire continues to be the partner of choice enabling critical capabilities to ensure on-orbit success.”  

Axiom Space plans to attach its AxPPTM to the International Space 91Թ as the first module in its assembly sequence followed by Habitat 1 (AxH1), an airlock, Habitat 2 (AxH2), and finally the Research and Manufacturing Facility (AxRMF).  After the launch and berthing of AxPPTM to the International Space 91Թ, the module will separate and rendezvous with AxH1 on orbit resulting in Axiom 91Թ’s independent operational capability. This approach enables the two-module station to become a free-flyer as early as 2028 and an independent four-module station by 2030, ensuring a continuous U.S. human presence in LEO after the International Space 91Թ retires.  The Axiom 91Թ development plan aligns with U.S. objectives and preserves critical capabilities currently utilized on the International Space 91Թ.  AxPPTM is anticipated to launch toward the end of 2027.

Progress continues on the PPTM primary structure built by Thales Alenia Space in Turin, Italy, having completed its final weld in July. Axiom 91Թ modules will be integrated and assembled at Axiom Space’s Assembly and Integration facility in Houston, marking the first human-rated spacecraft ever built in Space City.  

“This contract with Redwire on the roll-out solar array (ROSA) wings is a critical step toward developing our first Axiom 91Թ module,” said Tejpaul Bhatia, CEO of Axiom Space. “Redwire’s decades of spaceflight heritage developing advanced spacecraft technology will ultimately enable Axiom 91Թ’s global customers to conduct research, innovate, discover, and scale for the benefit of humanity.”  

Redwire’s ROSA technology has a 100% success rate of on-orbit performance and is being used on a wide range of civil and commercial missions including the International Space 91Թ, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission, the Maxar-built Power and Propulsion Element for the Artemis Lunar Gateway, and Thales Alenia Space’s Space Inspire satellites.
