Technicians complete a successful deployment test of one of Gateway’s Roll-Out Solar Array (ROSA) wings on June 30, 2025, at Redwire’s facility in Goleta, California. NASA Gateway Program leadership, astronaut Stan Love, and representatives from industry and international partners were on site to observe the test. These advanced arrays, the most powerful of their kind ever built, will supply the energy that powers Gateway, humanity’s first lunar space station and a cornerstone of NASA’s Artemis campaign.
