The Era of Manufacturing Beyond Earth Begins

For decades, space has been viewed primarily as a domain for exploration, communication satellites, and scientific observation. Today, that perception is rapidly changing. Space is no longer just a place to look at—it is becoming a place to build. A groundbreaking milestone has been achieved by a Cardiff-based startup, Space Forge, which has successfully sent a compact manufacturing facility equipped with a furnace capable of reaching temperatures of 1,000°C into orbit. This achievement marks a significant turning point in the emerging field of in-space manufacturing and signals the dawn of a new industrial era that extends far beyond Earth’s atmosphere. … Read more
