Redwire Picked for NASA Moon Power Project Worth About $40 Million

At a glance

Redwire has been selected for the power generation part of NASA's lunar base plan. The company says the project is worth about $40 million.

Key points

1. 1

   Redwire will provide a power generation system based on its ROSA (roll-out solar arrays, solar panels that unfold like a scroll).

2. 2

   NASA chose Redwire for the power part of miniCAST, a project that combines communications and solar power.

3. 3

   Early work is at the component level rather than a large integrated system, and a full power system will be put out for bid separately in early 2027.

Why it matters

Stable power is essential for long stays on the Moon, so this news shows who will build a key foundation of the lunar base plan.
