Redwire to Develop Solar Arrays for Thales Alenia Space's New GEO Satellites

Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW) announced it will develop and deliver Roll-Out Solar Array (ROSA) wings for Thales Alenia Space's Space Inspire satellites, the newest product line of geostationary (GEO) telecommunications satellites.

A joint venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), Thales Alenia Space is a prime manufacturer providing space solutions for telecommunications, Earth observation, exploration, and navigation. The cooperation between the two companies on this project began last year.

"Redwire is proud to be a trusted supplier for Thales Alenia Space's innovative Space Inspire satellite solution that will provide unprecedented flexibility for the GEO telecommunications market," said Mike Gold, Redwire's Chief Growth Officer. "Leveraging unmatched innovation and a 100% on-orbit success rate, Redwire's ROSA technology has become the power solution of choice for today's most cutting-edge missions and platforms from LEO to GEO and beyond."

The ROSA wings for the first Thales Alenia Space's Space Inspire satellites will measure approximately 80 feet long and provide over 25 kW of power per spacecraft, making them among the most robust solar arrays ever used on a GEO satellite.

Redwire's ROSA technology has a strong track record of reliability and successful on-orbit performance for various civil and commercial missions including the International Space Station, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission, and the Maxar-built Power and Propulsion Element for the Artemis Lunar Gateway.

The development of Thales Alenia Space's Space Inspire product line is supported by the French national space agency CNES.

Flexible perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell achieves new efficiency record
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Jun 07, 2024
This study is led by Dr. Xinlong Wang, Dr. Jingming Zheng, Dr. Zhiqin Ying, Prof. Xi Yang, and Prof. Jichun Ye from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Despite the remarkable progress achieved in rigid perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells, with reported efficiencies reaching up to 33.9%, the utilization of flexible perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells has remained elusive. The difficulty lies in enhancing light absorption in ultrathin silicon bott ... read more
