When has in-space manufacturing truly succeeded? When space-made materials are so useful nobody thinks twice about where they came from.

Why space? That's the most common question we're asked.

And this recent article sums it up perfectly: The desire for better products is the driving force behind the emerging in-space manufacturing industry.

A few grams of crystal grown in orbit could become more than a million chips on Earth.

CEO & Co-founder Josh Western explains how on the New Wave podcast, and why he wants space to be boring.

@SpaceX plans 1 million satellites, @blueorigin tens of thousands more. LEO isn't running out of room for opportunity, it's running out of room.

Our CTO & Co Founder Andrew Bacon asks if space is the next environmental frontier.

Materials get made in cleanrooms, not on paper.

AggieFab's cleanrooms and expertise are turning space-made substrates into something you can build on.

Next week, we're headline sponsors at @esaBSGN's annual Space for Inspiration conference.

Join our Hosted Payloads Workshop, 1st Sept 5.15-6.30pm, where we'll focus on getting payloads to orbit, into microgravity, and back to Earth.

Orbit is the factory floor. Texas is part of the route to scale.

We’ve signed a Master Research Agreement with @TAMU, laying the groundwork for our first US advanced semiconductor materials facility.

Space-made. Earth-scaled.

Getting back matters as much as getting there.

Our CTO & Co-Founder Andrew Bacon spoke to @TeKNoticias_ about why Space Forge is building in the Azores, and why Santa Maria could become a gateway for materials returning from space.

Capital follows conviction.

The UK's space sector continues to attract investment, and it's great to see in-space manufacturing recognised as part of that growth.

Andrew Bacon, CTO & Co-Founder, joined researchers and industry at Atlantic Space Hub on Santa Maria, or 'Space Island'.

The focus wasn't getting to orbit. It was what orbit enables: new materials, advances in human health and the future of manufacturing.

[Space Forge @Space_Forge]

Backing deep tech takes conviction.

Back in 2020, the Bristol Private Equity Club backed Space Forge when our vision was just getting started.

Six years on, we're grateful to everyone who believed in what we were building.
