Besxar is building an orbital semiconductor factory, one SpaceX rocket at a time

If you want to manufacture in space—and bring the products back again—there’s a limited set of options: Wait to go to the International Space Station, or partner with a handful of start-ups launching spacecraft that spend time in orbit before they return to Earth. But the vehicle that goes to space and comes back to […]

Besxar invites SpaceX to build orbiting semiconductor factory

Founded by former OpenAI employee Ashley Pilipiszyn, Besxar decided to manufacture key materials for advanced semiconductors in orbit to take advantage of the vacuum of space. In this regard, the startup has help from SpaceX.
