The system is part of Redwire's third-generation Advanced Data and Power Management System (ADPMS-3).

The delivery follows comprehensive acceptance testing, including vibration, thermal vacuum, and electromagnetic compatibility tests. The mission, scheduled to launch in 2029, will be the first to visit a pristine comet from the outer Solar System. The same computer system is also supporting ESA's Hera planetary defense mission.

Redwire's European facility boasts over 40 years of spaceflight experience and continues to support various ESA programs, including Skimsat, the International Berthing and Docking Mechanism, and the Proba-3 mission.

Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW) has secured a contract from SpaceTech GmbH to provide critical avionics technology for ESA's Next Generation Gravity Mission (NGGM) satellites. The NGGM satellites will be part of the Mass Change and Geophysics International Constellation (MAGIC), a joint NASA-ESA Earth observation project combining four satellites to measure Earth's gravitational field fluctuations.

Through its subsidiary Redwire Space NV, the company will design and build the engineering qualification model of the spacecraft's Instrument Control Unit (ICU), which will manage the NGGM's primary scientific instrument. The mission aims to monitor water management applications, including droughts, floods, ice melts, and sea level rise. Redwire's European facility boasts over 40 years of spaceflight heritage and has successfully delivered technology for key ESA programs, including IXV and the Proba series.

Redwire (NYSE: RDW) has expanded its in-space pharmaceutical program with the launch of new drug development technology and a cancer-detection experiment to the International Space Station (ISS). The company introduced a high-volume Industrial Crystallizer capable of processing samples up to 200x the volume of the original PIL-BOX technology.

The groundbreaking 'Golden Balls' experiment aims to produce gold nanospheres in space for the first time. These nanospheres could enhance cancer detection, targeted drug delivery, and therapy treatments. According to John Vellinger, Redwire's President of In-Space Industries, space-produced golden nanospheres are expected to have tighter size distributions and larger dimensions while maintaining surface structure quality.

The Industrial Crystallizer and Golden Balls experiment were launched aboard SpaceX's 32nd commercial resupply mission to the ISS on April 21st.

Redwire (NYSE:RDW) has secured a contract from Thales Alenia Space to provide docking systems for the European Space Agency's lunar Gateway habitation module (Lunar I-Hab). The contract includes four International Berthing and Docking Mechanisms (IBDM): one active system to connect Lunar I-Hab to the Gateway and three passive systems for other modules or visiting vehicles.

The IBDM systems, to be delivered by Redwire's Belgian subsidiary Redwire Space NV, will facilitate safe crew and cargo transfers, featuring advanced automation, precision alignment, and multiple redundancies. The Lunar I-Hab module, constructed under Thales Alenia Space's leadership, will provide living quarters, laboratory space, and mission support infrastructure for astronauts during extended deep space missions.

Redwire (NYSE: RDW) and ispace technologies-U.S. have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on commercial lunar exploration and science missions. The partnership will focus on NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative and other customers.

The collaboration leverages ispace's APEX lunar lander technology, which builds upon their Hakuto-R lunar exploration program experience. The APEX lander is designed as a multi-purpose platform for delivering payloads to lunar surface or orbit.

The partnership combines Redwire's expertise in digital engineering, integration, testing, and lunar subsystems with ispace's proven lunar landing platform. This initiative falls under NASA's CLPS program, which has a maximum contract value of $2.6 billion through 2028. Redwire is one of 14 prime contractors on the CLPS IDIQ contract.

Redwire (NYSE: RDW) has appointed Mike Gold as President of Civil and International Space business to spearhead the company's global expansion initiatives. The appointment aligns with Redwire's recent European expansion, including a new office in Warsaw, Poland.
