Startup Besxar aims to build orbital semiconductor factory using SpaceX rockets
Startup Besxar is developing an orbital semiconductor manufacturing facility, using reusable spacecraft that return to Earth, according to TechCrunch.
TechCrunch reported that startup Besxar is working to build a semiconductor manufacturing facility in orbit, addressing the limited options for space-based manufacturing beyond partnering with the International Space Station or a small number of startups launching spacecraft.
The company's approach relies on a vehicle that travels to space, spends time in orbit, and returns to Earth with its products, according to the report.
