Space Forge’s ForgeStar-1 mission has proven that semiconductor manufacturing is possible in orbit. By generating plasma inside a mini furnace in microgravity, the UK startup showed that space conditions can enable far purer crystal growth than on Earth, potentially revolutionizing future electronics and energy-efficient chips.Space Forge’s ForgeStar-1 mission has proven that semiconductor manufacturing is possible in orbit.
