The deployment followed spacewalks carried out by astronauts Anil Menon and Joshua Kutryk, who began the final installation work on October 29. The November 5 deployment marks the fourth and final set of ROSA wings installed on the station, bringing the power upgrade to completion.
Redwire said the successful deployment finishes the modernization of the ISS power supply, a project built around its roll-out solar technology. The company framed the achievement as a concrete delivery milestone for the station’s continued research and operational needs.
Beyond the ISS, Redwire is positioning ROSA for future missions to the Moon, Mars, and deep space. The company said the station upgrade validates roll-out solar technology that it intends to apply to power generation for destinations beyond low Earth orbit.
For Redwire, completing the full ISS power modernization represents a demonstrated delivery of its roll-out solar system in operation on orbit, and the company tied that success directly to its ambitions for lunar, Martian, and deep-space power applications.
The ISS upgrade now serves as the proving ground for a technology Redwire aims to carry to future Moon and Mars outposts.
