Inside Starlab, The Biggest Commercial Space Station!
No mention of the ROSA, PIL-BOX. But he did say meniscus and can make organs.

Paragon and Redwire have teamed to co-develop ECLSS for commercial space stations. One such system is a microgravity human waste collection system (i.e., a space toilet) which would then be paired with Paragon’s Urine Processor (PUP)

SpaceMD has successfully crystallized 45 unique compounds, including insulin and molecules targeting cancer, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes.
Hey Redwire what do you mean by "crystallized 45 unique compounds"? Do you mean unique to space? or just 45 different compounds? and do they have utility?
Will I be seeing 45 patents in the near future? or maybe just 4-6?

Pil-box largest mission ever!
IN JULY 2026, SPACEMD SIGNED HISTORIC AGREEMENT TO
PURCHASE AN ENTIRE SPACEX STARFALL SPACECRAFT,
ENABLING FIRST OF ITS KIND COMMERCIAL MISSION
SpaceMD's inaugural Starfall mission is slated for launch in
late 2028 and is expected to have the capacity to carry up to
32 PIL-BOXes, making it the largest dedicated commercial
microgravity research mission in history. This agreement,
builds on the success of the more than 50 PIL-BOXes
launched to the ISS since the inaugural PIL-01 mission in
November 2023.

Belgium starts another satellite program
"Called Galo (Global Coverage All-weather Low Earth Orbit Observation), it provides for the deployment of several dozen satellites in low orbit, intended for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. Until now, Brussels relied heavily on the French satellites"
"On the industrial level, the Walloon company Aerospacelab, specialized in the production of micro-satellites, is expected to participate in the design of the platforms. This dynamic is a continuation of another project, Matteo, the first Belgian military satellite entrusted in March to the American Redwire in collaboration with Aerospacelab, thus preparing the country’s future space capabilities."
"A link in a much larger rearmament
The Galo programme is only one part of a much broader overhaul of the Belgian military apparatus, initiated by the government of Prime Minister Bart De Wever. Faced with the return of war in Europe since the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the American demands urging Europeans to assume more of their own security within NATO, Belgium has significantly increased its budgetary ambitions."
"The country has thus crossed the threshold of 2% of GDP spent on Defence, with an annual budget increased from 8 to 12.74 billion euros in 2025, and a trajectory targeting 2.5% of GDP by 2034-2035. An investment plan of 34 billion euros is planned by 2034, the net effort of the current legislature being estimated at 17 billion euros."
"Any benefit to the arms industry
This rise directly benefits the Belgian industrial ecosystem, with nearly 900 companies paid in the armaments and more than 16,000 jobs. Within the Federal Equity and Investment Corporation, the State has created a 2 billion-euro Defense Fund to structure this sector, particularly in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and aerospace."

Two new patents?
The first one kinda looks like https://youtu.be/QOb9UlnWHCQ?si=ddZ8krvrEiihdcFY what do you guys think?

How exclusive is this patent?
The patented approach allows Voyager to grow crystals that precisely match a specific optical wavelength, producing only the desired signal band with no interference or unintended spectral artifacts. This breakthrough enables unprecedented performance, where higher crystal quality directly improves signal stability and reduces error rates in high-bandwidth systems that support AI and cloud computing.
The patented process uses long-duration microgravity to grow larger and purer crystals free of defects that typically form when crystals grow in stacked layers on Earth. Voyager’s method keeps all seed material in constant motion during ground handling to prevent premature formation, with growth triggered only after reaching microgravity.

Satellite wire harnesses and scaling
Please watch this .https://youtu.be/7YDaHsK4j40?si=gamfZRHB1fm5GD3r
Redwire has always done cabling and wire harnesses, but recently they have expanded locations, testing, design and other services related to this important function of satellite manufacturing.
With Acorn2 and DEMSI, Redwire can plan, design and analyze and test (hardware in the Loop) wire harnesses.
One of the focus areas in the Jacksonville location is Cabling and Harnessing doing Resistance and Hi-Pot Testing. T
The Albuquerque location now has two facilities. The newest facility provides space for full spacecraft assembly, integration, and test capabilities with two clean rooms and temperature and humidity control. One of the focus areas is on Wire harnessing and cables with a Cables/harnessing fabrication and assembly lab
Redwire’s Littleton, Colorado facilities support the design, development, integration, testing, and operations of science, technology, and exploration spacecraft.
Certifications
- AS9100D:2016 Certification
- NASA 8739.1b - Polymerics
- NASA 8739.4 - Cable/Harness
- IPC-J-STD-001 with Space Addendum -Solder
- Accredited FCL (Facility Clearance)
Two things here Redwire offers Certified classes. Every UAV needs a military grade wire harness. Accredited FCL (Facility Clearance) is to do classified work either directly for the Government or as a subcontractor. They have to be sponsored (have a contract in hand) to be sponsored.

What company should we buy next?
We should have lots of money now, so who should we buy?
I think we should pick up planetiq. It’s small and has unique and interesting technology. They are a customer, they run a constellation.
What should rdw do with all of the money?
