Space Forge allows to produce super materials in space that are impossible to create on Earth. In particular it'is using space-derived crystal seeds to grow ultra-high quality semiconductor substrates. It's operating own world-first reusable, returnable orbital manufacturing platform (ForgeStar) and provides microgravity-as-a-service for manufacturing on low Earth orbit. The space environment offers a unique set of environmental conditions that are hugely beneficial for certain processes: vacuum, lower ambient pressure, weightlessness, near-zero temperatures. Rapid, reliable and returnable vehicle to harness the space environment for your needs. The company has also developed return system thatl brings precious cargo back to Earth gently, with no shock on landing in an innovative vehicle with a precision engineered capture and recovery system.
