What Hype is tracking

Redwire’s eight‑figure award names it the supplier of Nyx’s docking interface — a mission‑critical spacecraft subsystem that directly affects rendezvous, berthing and on‑orbit compatibility for the capsule.
The contract broadens Redwire’s footprint across commercial and government space programs, complementing recent wins such as a DARPA $44M Phase 2 contract to mature Otter VLEO technologies and a solar-array supply deal for Axiom’s first commercial station module.
