Redwire to Supply Solar Arrays for Axiom Station’s Second Module

Redwire Corporation announced on 5 October 2026 that it has secured a contract from Axiom Space to develop and deliver two Roll-Out Solar Array (ROSA) wings for the second module of the commercial Axiom Station. The company is already building similar ROSA wings for the station’s first module.

On 5 October 2026, Redwire announced it had been awarded a contract by Axiom Space to develop and deliver two Roll-Out Solar Array (ROSA) wings for the station’s second module.

Redwire is already building ROSA wings for Axiom Space’s first module.

The first Axiom Station module is undergoing final assembly at Thales Alenia Space in Turin, Italy, and will later be transferred to Houston for integration and testing; its launch is planned from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

A second module is preparing to begin final assembly at the same facility and can loiter on orbit until it is ready to dock with the first module.

Axiom Station is designed to carry four crew members.

ROSA technology has recorded a 100-percent success rate across environments from low-Earth orbit to geostationary orbit and beyond, and it currently powers the International Space Station in LEO.

Redwire’s power systems have supported the ISS and NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test; the company has delivered or is developing more than 65 solar array wings and employs approximately 1,400 people across North America and Europe.

Axiom Station is intended as a permanent commercial platform in low-Earth orbit for microgravity research.

The contract signals continued momentum behind commercial orbital infrastructure. Axiom Station’s development as a privately operated LEO destination could broaden the market for microgravity research and manufacturing, while Redwire’s growing solar array portfolio – with more than 65 wings in the pipeline – demonstrates the industrial base needed to support both commercial stations and future exploration missions.
