WASHINGTON — Axiom Space has awarded a contract to Redwire to provide solar arrays for the first module of Axiom’s planned commercial space station.

The companies announced Sept. 25 that Redwire will provide a version of its Roll-Out Solar Array, or ROSA, to Axiom for use on Axiom Station’s Payload Power Thermal Module, known as AxPPTM.

AxPPTM is the first module Axiom plans to launch for its commercial station. Under a revised assembly schedule announced last December , AxPPTM will berth with one of two ports on the International Space Station used by Cygnus cargo spacecraft.
