“I believe we are at a turning point in space development where spaceflight gravity and biotech and pharmaceuticals are coming together in ways that will transform these fields,” stated Mike Gold, Chief Growth Officer at Redwire Space. On the ISS, Redwire produced the first meniscus in space. The BioFabrication facility, or BFF, is what we did with the goal of producing human tissue in space.
