- Redwire ( NYSE: RDW ) received a $5.9M contract from NASA to complete the design of FabLab, a new in-space manufacturing system.
- FabLab is expected to be tested onboard the International Space Station and serve as a precursor for Artemis missions to the Moon and Mars.
- The multi-material 3D printer will allow NASA crews in deep space to manufacture tools and components on demand using materials such as metal, plastic, ceramics and electronics, enabling a sustainable human presence on and around the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
- An anticipated follow-on contract will support the construction of a FabLab unit and its test aboard the ISS in low-Earth orbit.
