Space and Redwire Space have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at
expanding commercial access to low Earth orbit through advanced space
technology and orbital research capability.
Under
the agreement, Redwire will supply key systems for the Starlab station,
including next-generation solar array technology and life support solutions.
The collaboration will also enable Redwire to leverage payload capacity aboard
Starlab to offer space-based research and manufacturing services to its global
customer network.

The
partnership is designed to accelerate commercial activity in orbit by combining
Starlab’s infrastructure development with Redwire’s technical expertise and
market reach. Both companies say the initiative will play a significant role in
enabling the next era of space utilization, supporting scientific research,
commercial manufacturing, and future in-space applications.
The
cooperation marks another step forward in preparing industry and customers for
a post-ISS commercial LEO ecosystem as demand for orbital services continues to
grow.
