Space Forge has successfully generated plasma in space aboard its ForgeStar®-1 satellite, marking a world-first for commercial in-space manufacturing and a significant step toward producing a new class of high-performance semiconductor materials on orbit.
The plasma demonstration confirms that the extreme conditions necessary for gas-phase crystal growth - a core building block of semiconductor production - can now be created and controlled on an autonomous platform in low Earth orbit (LEO).
