About Space Forge
ForgeStar provides a free-flying manufacturing environment in microgravity and high vacuum, allowing materials to form without buoyancy-driven convection and terrestrial contamination. Modular payload bays can host semiconductor, alloy and biological processes while the satellite supplies power, thermal management and autonomous operation.
The Pridwen heat shield unfolds before re-entry and radiates heat through a high-temperature metallic surface, allowing the capsule and manufactured payload to return to Earth. Space Forge is developing the satellite, manufacturing payload interfaces, re-entry guidance and recovery workflow as one reusable in-space production service.
