Space Forge

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. 🔗 forbes.pulse.ly/1gu9gvcaec #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 👉 aiaa.pulse.ly/6r8gkvu85s @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.pulse.ly/adkgbxszzr #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 🔗 bizjournals.pulse.ly/5car27lgnm

At @ukspaceconf this week, our CEO and Co-founder Josh Western joins two panels: Is Space Just another Deep Tech Sector? 📍 Central 5 🗓 16th 🕥 14:50 Space for Growth: How do we bring Value to the Nation? 📍 Auditorium 🗓 17th 🕥 10:30 🔗 spaceconference.pulse.ly/aj07qjoizi #UKSC2025

📣 BIG NEWS 📣 ForgeStar®‑1 has successfully activated and made contact with Mission Control in Cardiff 🛰️ Next stop: health checks, then it’s go-time to ignite the forge in space and prove in-orbit manufacturing is ready to roll. 🔗 @thenextweb thenextweb.pulse.ly/6jzkbycbz1

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: spacex.pulse.ly/ghcgw8pmgx #TheForgeAwakens

👋 #StayTuned to see #ForgeStar-1 deployed 🛰️

T-30 minutes until today’s Falcon 9 launch of the Transporter-14 mission from California. Propellant load is underway

👀 The next #Transporter14 launch window opens at 14:18 PT (22:18 BST) 🚀 We'll see you on the livestream 🔗 spacex.pulse.ly/ca0u2knm2j

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.pulse.ly/mbhkmd7dbk @SpaceX @Exolaunch

Integration? Complete. The Forge Awakens - a capstone mission to prove we can grow semiconductor crystals in orbit. Part of #Transporter14, riding @SpaceX’s #Falcon9 from Vandenberg via @Exolaunch. How we got to integration👇 spaceforge.pulse.ly/c1bmzwtef7

Why count logistics as a mission-critical milestone? We’ve seen it all before: shock sensors tripped, customs cracking things open, parts delayed, recalled, or “temporarily misplaced.” But this time? ForgeStar-1® arrived. Intact. Ready. 👇 spaceforge.pulse.ly/zchr2z3l2h #ISAM

With launch on the horizon, ForgeStar-1 has already survived its biggest challenge: testing. Putting it lightly, our test campaign was brutal - but ForgeStar-1 made it through. She's built to handle space - and then some 👇 spaceforge.pulse.ly/qhdtrygmwy #ISAM

Launch is next - but first, here’s how we built the mission from the ground up. 2 years. Multiple departments. Endless PDFs. But we did it - ForgeStar-1 is the first UK-licensed in-space manufacturing mission. 👉 What it takes before you launch: spaceforge.pulse.ly/a2gm62gkia #ISAM

As we edge closer to launch... ForgeStar-1 is 11x the size of its predecessor - built from scratch, in-house, by a team who said: “if it doesn’t exist, we’ll make it.” Before you can make plasma in orbit, you’ve got to build the factory that can do it👇 spaceforge.pulse.ly/ioqmm0dsjf

The future of advanced manufacturing isn’t down here - it’s up there. Space is clean. It’s cold. It’s exactly what we need to build next-gen semiconductor materials that actually live up to the hype. @WIRED gets it👇 wired.pulse.ly/brhgjgehke #ISAM

That Series A energy? Still buzzing. Next up: ForgeStar‑1 to orbit. ForgeStar‑2 in the works. Space manufacturing is no longer sci-fi. It’s happening. Next stop: orbit. 👉 pulse.pulse.ly/3osfajm9cp #ISAM

ForgeStar®-1 integration - locked down. Next up? Building the future in space. No gravity. No limits. Just breakthrough materials. Industry - redefined. 👀 Hear what this means from @satelliteevo satelliteevolution.pulse.ly/mgh8dqfhna #TheForgeAwakens #ISAM
