Chat to our team at #DSEI2025 about how orbital manufacturing will unlock materials and capabilities that can’t be made on Earth - technology that is creating new opportunities for defence, resilience and sustainability. Find us on stand, N6 - 122. 📅 9–12 Sept, ExCeL London.

Throwback to the UK Space Conference👇. Our Co-Founder & CEO Josh Western joined the Space Boffins podcast by @NakedScientists to talk about how Space Forge is taking semiconductor manufacturing into orbit. 🎧 Listen in to the full conversation:

While this is just the beginning of ForgeStar®-1’s mission operations, it’s already a huge achievement. We’ve proved that our platform can survive launch, function autonomously in space & begin responding to ground commands. The journey so far: #ISAM

Britain is leading the way in making the materials of tomorrow. As featured in @TheEconomist, Space Forge is pioneering semiconductor manufacturing in space - where microgravity unlocks what Earth can’t. #ISAM.

ForgeStar®‑1 is now in orbit. This mission is testing a manufacturing system designed not just to grow ultra-pure semiconductor crystals, but to prove that they can be brought back to Earth safely. Deep dive with Co-founder and CTO, Andrew Bacon: #ISAM.

Recap: We launched. We powered up. We stabilised. We called home. ForgeStar®-1 survived the first autonomous orbits proving our platform’s resilience: +150°C in sun, –150°C in shadow. What the rest of the journey looks like: #ISAM #TheForgeAwakens

The in-space industrial revolution has made headlines in the @FinancialTimes. We're proud to be at the vanguard. By harnessing LEO's unique advantages, we're unlocking new frontiers in advanced semiconductor manufacturing. 🔗 #ISAM.

The impact of our partnership with @Int_Machines?. A new route for space-made semiconductors to return reliably, routinely & ready to scale. Strengthening U.S. supply chains & unlocking the commercial potential of in-orbit manufacturing. 📄 #SpaceForge

We have been recognised in @Forbes as one of the standout innovations at Goodwood’s Future Lab 2025. The piece explores the transformative potential of in-space manufacturing and how it's unlocking new frontiers. 🔗 #InSpaceManufacturing #FutureLab.

Why microgravity? On Earth, gravity means cracks & impurities. In space, we can grow bigger, purer semiconductor materials with far fewer defects. Dive into the tech behind Space Forge from our CTO, Andrew Bacon 👉 @AeroAmMag #ISAM.

Space Forge Inc. is expanding U.S. access to next-generation semiconductors. With support from the Texas Space Commission + a new partnership with @Int_Machines, we're integrating with Zephyr to return high-purity materials to Earth 🌍. 🔗 #SpaceForge

This just in. Space Forge is partnering with @Int_Machines to take semiconductor manufacturing to orbit. With support from @TXSpaceComm we’ll integrate our payload on the Zephyr return platform via Space Forge Inc. on the Space Coast. @HOUBizJournal 🔗

T+00:58:38 "ForgeStar®-1 separation confirmed.". Catch the moment the UK’s first licensed satellite for in-space manufacturing breaks free from Transporter-14. 🎥 Watch the launch: #TheForgeAwakens.

👋. #StayTuned to see #ForgeStar-1 deployed 🛰️.

RT @SpaceX: T-30 minutes until today’s Falcon 9 launch of the Transporter-14 mission from California. Propellant load is underway https://t….

👀. The next #Transporter14 launch window opens at 14:18 PT (22:18 BST) 🚀. We'll see you on the livestream 🔗

The Forge is awakening. ForgeStar®-1 is scheduled for liftoff on #Transporter14 today, with the launch window opening at 2:18 p.m PT. This isn’t just another satellite. It’s the UK’s first licensed for in-space manufacturing. 🔗 @SpaceX @Exolaunch
