Redwire and Sierra Space Collaborate on Inflatable Habitat's Groundbreaking Biotech Mission

Redwire and Sierra Space have formed a partnership to develop a biotech technology testbed on Sierra's first mission with its inflatable space habitat. The goal is to manufacture drugs in space, taking advantage of the microgravity environment to create unique materials that can be used to develop more effective and longer-lasting drugs on Earth. Redwire will include its ADvanced Space Experiment Processors (ADSEP) on Sierra's LIFE habitat mission, expected in 2026. This collaboration is part of the companies' efforts to establish the business case for future space stations like Orbital Reef, which aims to succeed the International Space Station.
