Home safe and sound! ⚙️
Redwire team members traveled to @NASAKennedy today to pick up our Ceramic Manufacturing Module (CMM) test prints from the @Space_Station Processing Facility. The samples are now headed back to our facility for further analysis.

#DYK that CMM is the first SLA printer on @Space_Station?
Before module install & ops, our engineers projected images on the lens cap of the CMM to ensure the projector was in focus. This image highlights the partners that supported this historic mission: bit.ly/3mxbvyb

Redwire technology is poised to change how we build spacecraft. Our Archinaut One mission, being developed by our @madeinspace team, features a satellite that will manufacture and assemble its own components on-orbit!
Made In Space is building a satellite that can 3D print itself in space. If successful, their satellite could revolutionize how we design future spacecraft.
