On Northrop Grumman CRS-15, Redwire will launch its sixth commercial facility to the International Space Station, the Industrial Crystallization Facility (ICF). The ICF will provide a space-based platform for the growth and formulation of centimeter-scale single crystals and other exotic materials for use in the optics and sensor industries. Validation of the ICF will also provide a proof of concept for applied industrial materials production in microgravity, which will be an important in-orbit research and development capability in the future. Learn more about this facility, and how it may support future research and development in low Earth orbit.
