In the call, Peter Cannito, chief executive of Redwire, noted that Redwire is part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) contract, thanks to its 2020 acquisition of Deep Space Systems, one of the nine original companies selected by NASA for the contract in 2018.
In a May 7 earnings call, Redwire executives said the company saw opportunities to provide both lunar landers and power systems as part of the lunar base NASA announced March 24 it intended to establish over the next decade.
Redwire is taking a renewed interest in lunar landers given the demand signal from NASA to support the agency’s ambitions to develop a moon base.
