Reading through some of the science payloads
Redwire will be launching microgravity research payloads focused on pharmaceutical drug development and regenerative medicine, including an experiment in bioprinting cardiac tissue.
Neat
Hopefully between Redwire, Varda, and others, there can be some commercially viable and medically helpful technologies developed and deployed in LEO. I really want the market to grow beyond defense, research, and tourism.
