Orion Looks Back at Earth 🌎
This image was taken from Redwire’s OpNav camera during the @nasaartemis II mission.
This black and white image of Earth was captured by the optical navigation sensor on the exterior of the Orion spacecraft on the first day of the Artemis II mission, as the four astronauts inside were traveling farther than any humans have ventured in more than 50 years.

Did you know that suborbital research can serve orbital, lunar and mars missions? 🌝
In the latest episode of #AustinExplains, we go behind the scenes at @virgingalactic to explore how their spacecraft enables a new generation of microgravity research.
With Redwire technology onboard, researchers can run experiments in suborbital microgravity labs accelerating discoveries that will support future space exploration missions.
Ever notice how much of today’s space tech feels straight out of Star Trek? 👀
Redwire’s President of Civil and international Space, Mike GoldPresident breaks down why the show still influences the way we explore the cosmos.🖖
✨ NEW EPISODE! 📺
Travel with Austin to Redwire’s Belgium facility to get an inside look at Redwire’s HOST instrument, which recently launched to the International Space Station.
HOST is being used to study heat transfer, which could impact a wide range of industries here on Earth.
Hear first-hand from the experts behind this exciting @europeanspaceagency backed technology in the latest #AustinExplains! #spacetech #spacescience
VLEO represents an exciting new frontier for defense, intelligence, and communications missions. 🛰️
Redwire has been awarded the phase 2 contract from DARPA to complete manufacturing and deliver the spacecraft to launch for the Otter mission.
DARPA’s Otter mission is built on Redwire’s U.S.-built SabreSat Orbital Drone, a new breed of satellite designed for performance, endurance and cost-effectiveness in VLEO. #vleo #spacetech
“It’s alive...and it’s microalgae! 🦠
Take a behind-the-scenes look at Redwire’s revolutionary GreenLung technology, which uses microalgae to purify air for long-duration spaceflight.
Discover how this living tech could keep astronauts breathing easy- in spookiest episode of “Austin Explains” yet. 👻
Powering a lunar space station⚡
A new episode of ‘Austin Explains’ takes you behind the scenes to check out Redwire’s Roll-Out Solar Array (ROSA) factory in Goleta, California to see the most powerful ROSAs ever built. Watch now to learn how this technology will power the lunar Gateway’s Power and Propulsion Element (PPE).
Congrats to Redwire on their new 15,000 sq. ft. ABQ facility! 🚀
This expansion supports a $45M AFRL contract and brings more aerospace jobs and activity to NM. We’re proud to support through the Job Training Incentive Program—defense & space are taking off in our state!
We’re thrilled to partner with DeepSat to accelerate development of their cutting-edge Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) satellite constellation.🛰️
Redwire’s proven capabilities — Acorn 2.0, DEMSI, and our VLEO spacecraft expertise — will fuel the rapid design and deployment of DeepSat’s in-orbit AI constellation.
