Redwire (NYSE: RDW) has secured a NASA contract to conduct four additional pharmaceutical drug investigations on the International Space Station using their Pharmaceutical In-space Laboratory (PIL-BOX). The NASA-funded research aims to manufacture high-value seed crystals that could enhance pharmaceutical manufacturing in space stations.

The company's PIL-BOX platform has already processed 28 units, offering pharmaceutical researchers unique opportunities to grow small-batch crystals of protein-based pharmaceuticals in microgravity. Previous research suggests that space-grown crystals may be more uniform with fewer imperfections, potentially improving drug discovery and development processes. Past investigations have focused on advancing treatments for cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes.
