Redwire Corporation announced the launch of its Extensible Low‑Profile Solar Array (ELSA), a lightweight, high‑performance array designed for mass‑manufactured satellites that require standardized, modular power solutions.
ELSA builds on Redwire’s proven Roll‑Out Solar Array (ROSA) heritage, delivering up to 50 % more power per unit volume while reducing stowed volume and mass. The design leverages ROSA’s 100 % on‑orbit success record and its deployment on missions such as NASA’s Lunar Gateway and Blue Origin’s Blue Ring platform, giving ELSA a strong flight‑qualified pedigree.
The new array targets government and commercial customers that are expanding satellite constellations, including warfighter communications and telecommunications operators. By offering a compact, high‑efficiency solution, Redwire positions itself to capture a growing share of the space‑power market, where demand for modular arrays is accelerating as satellite deployments increase.
Redwire’s Q4 2025 results showed revenue of $108.8 million, a 10.1 % beat over the $98.77 million consensus, driven by strong demand in both its Space and Defense Tech segments. The company guided full‑year 2026 revenue to $450 million–$500 million, up 41.6 % from the prior year, reflecting confidence in continued market growth and the expected uptake of ELSA.
Mike Gold, president of Redwire’s Space business, said, “ELSA will broaden Redwire’s solar array offerings into exciting new public and private sector markets.” The launch, coupled with the company’s robust backlog of $411.2 million, signals a strategic shift toward production‑oriented programs and a focus on scaling its high‑margin ROSA‑derived technology.
