Redwire wins NASA award for lunar power demonstration

Redwire said on November 10, 2026, that NASA selected it for a $40M award to develop lunar power infrastructure for the Moon Base program. The project will adapt Redwire’s ROSA solar technology into a system combining surface power generation, storage and wireless distribution for future rovers, habitats and resource-use operations. The demonstration is planned near the lunar South Pole and will test performance through lunar-night conditions.

The award expands Redwire’s space-power work from orbital deployments to lunar infrastructure. It gives the company a NASA-funded demonstration opportunity, while the project’s scope is intended to inform larger future power systems.

  • 1NASA selected Redwire for an approximately $40 million award tied to its Moon Base efforts.
  • 2The planned system will combine solar arrays, batteries and wireless power-transfer equipment for lunar operations.
  • 3The demonstration will evaluate vertical solar deployment, payload operations and survival during the lunar night.
  • 4The project is to be conducted with NASA’s Moon Base Infrastructure Office near the lunar South Pole.
