Space Forge

Something exciting is happening in Portugal. Interviewed by @ECO_PT, Lewis D’Ambra explains why investment in space infrastructure, engineering talent and access to EU markets are helping build long-term semiconductor manufacturing capability. 👉 sapo.pulse.ly/58dk6ikzgw

Alastair McGibbon joins Maria Varmazis on Deep Space from N2K, to talk about why microgravity matters, what it unlocks for advanced materials, and why manufacturing in orbit is starting to look a lot more industrial. Listen in 🎧 megaphone.pulse.ly/zs3qvrykig @N2Knetworks

Our Space Forge team have been back in Portugal discussing European autonomy in space, from launch and return capability to strengthening industrial resilience across the continent. Thanks to @SatAppsCatapult for the support 👇

That’s no moon, it’s home 🌎 Captured by ForgeStar®-1, this is the view from orbit, where manufacturing changes. On Earth, gravity strikes back. In space, balance brings better materials. Happy #StarWarsDay - May the Forge be with you! P.S. Find the hidden surprises 👀

Space Forge CEO and Co-founder, Joshua Western, joins hosts, Oli Barrett and Victoria Usher, on the latest episode of Tomorrow: The Future Forum Podcast. 🎧 spotify.pulse.ly/kqvrij4j77

Greetings from ForgeStar®-1, currently orbiting overhead & enjoying the view. These shots were captured by the Space Forge team (with a little help from a @SkyFoxLabs camera), proving that engineers have a decent eye for photography too. Happy #EarthDay2026 from orbit.

In microgravity, semiconductor crystals can grow more uniformly, with far fewer defects than on Earth. That means better-performing chips for 5G, EVs and AI & potentially far lower energy use. Space Forge's plasma strike success 👉 in @skyatnightmag skyatnightmagazine.pulse.ly/4awepwagvs

CEO & Co-founder Joshua Western & Michelle Flemming, President of Space Forge Inc., will be at #SS41 next week talking return and what it unlocks for manufacturing, servicing and reuse. If you’re at the Symposium, come and find us.

Director of Communications and Public Policy, Lewis D’Ambra, joins @Scale_London to discuss scaling in the UK, from capital and policy to keeping growth onshore. 🗓️ 23 April 2026 🕚 11–11:30 📍 London 🔗 scale-london.pulse.ly/vzbakif1a3

Pre-seed investment from @devbankwales back in March 2020 was instrumental in the Space Forge journey from garage start-up to ForgeStar-1®'s successful plasma generation in orbit. 🎥 youtube.pulse.ly/zkqzf2ydhy

Space is moving from an experimental environment to industrial platform. “Within ten years, something you interact with in your daily life will have a space-made component.” @TheEngineerUK interviews Space Forge CTO & Co-Founder Andrew Bacon 🔗 theengineer.pulse.ly/e2euw8cznk

Co-founder & CEO Joshua Western and Space Forge Inc. US President Michelle Flemming will be at the Space Foundation's 41st Space Symposium in Colorado Springs from 13th - 16th April. 👋 If you're attending Space Symposium, let's connect.

From Robot Wars to orbital manufacturing: our co-founder and CTO Andrew Bacon walked Techne Connect through the journey of building Space Forge. Watch the full episode 🎥 techne-talent.pulse.ly/zxnuuvrm4h

What progress looks like: UK-built components operating reliably in orbit under real mission conditions, laying the groundwork for ISAM, satellite refuelling & scalable manufacturing in space. @TheManufacturer on our partnership with @TiMetalMatrix themanufacturer.pulse.ly/ynbt53b0px

@AnthropyUK returns to the Eden Project, Cornwall this March. Space Forge will be there talking advanced materials, resilient supply chains & space-enabled manufacturing. 👉 anthropy.pulse.ly/ehvuzvd3ml #Anthropy

ForgeStar-1®'s world-first plasma generation achievement demonstrates the strength of the UK's space supply chain, with a @TiMetalMatrix-manufactured high-pressure tank supplying the pressurised gas required for the Plasma Strike experiment. 🔗 spaceforge.pulse.ly/y7orelfqyu

HackSummit, Lausanne | 22nd April Co-founder and CEO Joshua Western will make the case for in-space manufacturing and why microgravity unlocks materials Earth can’t, translating into stronger European supply chains. HackSummit's feature article👇 beehiiv.pulse.ly/v1yanivrxc

Space Forge Portugal exists to access the Atlantic Space Hub in Santa Maria. From here, we can support the re-entry and recovery of semiconductor materials manufactured in orbit, connecting production with the EU's industrial supply chains. 📸 Our recent Portugal Industry Day.

Space Forge has completed the National Microgravity Research Centre (NMRC) at Swansea University's CISM facility, delivering on a £13 million project part-funded by the @spacegovuk . The full announcement 🔗 spaceforge.pulse.ly/oy9tyvjyqt Image: Swansea University CISM

Firing up the first semiconductor manufacturing tool aboard a free-flying satellite was just the beginning. Space Forge has now completed over 100 payload operations on ForgeStar®-1 - a major milestone in proving repeatable, reliable crystal growth in orbit 🛰️
