Redwire Corporation announced a $12.8 million contract to supply Extensible Low‑Profile Solar Array (ELSA) wings to Moog Inc. for integration into Moog’s METEOR satellite bus, a low‑Earth‑orbit platform for an undisclosed national‑security customer.
This contract marks Redwire’s first commercial sale of its ELSA product line, a technology that reduces stowed volume and mass while delivering up to 50 % more power per volume than traditional arrays. Moog’s decision to baseline ELSA on its METEOR bus signals strong confidence in the technology and opens the door to future orders.
The $12.8 million award represents a meaningful addition to Redwire’s revenue stream. In the most recent quarter, the company reported $108.8 million in revenue and a full‑year 2025 revenue of $335.4 million. The new contract therefore accounts for roughly 3.8 % of the company’s annual revenue, a notable contribution for a single defense‑satellite order.
Mike Gold, president of Redwire’s space business, said the deal demonstrates the company’s ability to deliver high‑performance, low‑mass power solutions to demanding customers. Bob McArthur, Moog Space Vehicles general manager, added that the ELSA wings “boost the adaptability of Moog’s satellite buses, allowing us to offer more flexible, modular solutions that directly support evolving customer missions.”
The announcement was positively received by investors, reflecting confidence in Redwire’s expanding defense portfolio and the potential for additional business with Moog as the ELSA technology becomes a standard component of the METEOR bus.
Beyond the immediate revenue impact, the contract underscores Redwire’s strategic shift toward national‑security space services and positions the company to capture a growing market for high‑performance, low‑mass power solutions in defense satellites.
