Under the assembly sequence, Axiom intends to attach its AxPPTM to the International Space Station (ISS) as the first module, followed by Habitat 1 (AxH1), an airlock, Habitat 2 (AxH2), and the Research and Manufacturing Facility (AxRMF). After the launch and berthing of the AxPPTM to the ISS, the module will separate and rendezvous with AxH1 in orbit, leading to independent operational capability for the Axiom Station.

This approach will allow the two-module station to turn into a free-flyer by 2028 and an independent four-module station by 2030, making sure that American human presence in LEO continues after the ISS retires.

Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW)’s roll-out solar array technology has a success rate of 100% when it comes to on-orbit performance. It is being used on several commercial and civil missions, including the ISS, NASA’s DART mission, and Thales Alenia Space’s Space Inspire satellites.

While commenting on the contract, Axiom’s CEO Tejpaul Bhatia said that Redwire Corporation (NYSE:RDW)’s expertise in developing advanced spacecraft technology will aid the station’s global customers in research, innovations, discoveries, and scaling, which would benefit humanity.
