Redwire begins construction on operations facility in Floyd County, Indiana

Redwire announced that it has officially broken ground on the company’s 30,000 square foot state-of-the-art microgravity payload development and space operations facility at the Novaparke Innovation & Technology Campus in Floyd County, Indiana. Redwire executives were joined by Representative Erin Houchin, state and local government officials, and academic leaders from Indiana University Southeast for a groundbreaking ceremony on May 31. “Redwire’s investment in this state-of-the-art facility will enable our company to meet the growing demand for in-space research and manufacturing,” said John Vellinger, Redwire’s President of In-Space Industries. “Our recent on-orbit successes with human tissue bioprinting and novel pharmaceutical crystal formation are revolutionary and are building strong demand for our products. The additional laboratories will help us increase our throughput on Earth and in space.”
