Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space
infrastructure for the next generation space economy, announced
today that it has successfully delivered the second pair of
International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Arrays (iROSA) to
Boeing, NASA’s prime contractor for space station operations. The
on-time delivery follows acceptance testing consisting of multiple
ambient functional deployments, vibration, and cold and hot
temperature deployments. The solar arrays are currently undergoing
flight package integration and are slated to launch on an upcoming
commercial resupply flight to the International Space Station
(ISS).
Redwire is under contract with Boeing to provide iROSA solar
arrays for the ISS. Redwire is responsible for the design,
analysis, manufacture, test and delivery of six new solar arrays
that will augment the ISS’s power supply. The first two iROSA solar
arrays were installed on the ISS in June 2021 and are operating as
expected with nominal output.
“Redwire is proud to partner with Boeing to provide critical
power generation technology supporting the International Space
Station, which remains the crown jewel of global human
spaceflight,” said Tom Campbell, Redwire’s Executive Vice President
of Deployable Solutions. “These next two iROSA wings will provide a
crucial power boost to support the vital work that is happening on
station, while further demonstrating this innovative technology
that will enable numerous public and private sector activities in
low-Earth Orbit, on and around the Moon and beyond.”
Using 30.7% efficient XTJ Prime solar cells from Boeing’s
Spectrolab, each iROSA array is one of the most powerful ever
manufactured and will provide more than 28 kilowatts of power.
Combined, the six new arrays are designed to produce more than 120
kilowatts over 10 years and will substantially improve the overall
power-generating capability of the ISS by 20 to 30 percent.
Redwire‘s Roll-Out Solar Array (ROSA) technology is compact,
modular and scalable, making it ideal for use on the ISS and other
spaceflight platforms. iROSA uses large, flexible solar arrays with
composite booms that are rolled up for storage, launch and
delivery. When installed, each iROSA unit unrolls without the need
for motors or other equipment, giving iROSA an advantage over rigid
solar arrays and other traditional technologies. The technology
behind iROSA was first demonstrated on the ISS in June 2017.
Redwire is also producing various modular versions of ROSA for
many government and commercial spaceflight applications, including
the Power and Propulsion Element for NASA’s Gateway program. ROSA
technology is currently enabling NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection
Test Mission, which launched in November 2021.
