The semiconductor industry is approaching the limits of what is possible on Earth. As demand for smaller, faster, and more efficient chips surges, so do manufacturing challenges, from rising wafer costs and contamination risks to the physical limits of miniaturization. In low-Earth orbit, however, microgravity, natural vacuum conditions, and containerless processing create an ideal environment for next-gen chip fabrication. With over 228 material experiments already proving stronger, more uniform results in space, the future of semiconductors is not just global, it’s orbital.
Starlab is purpose-built to advance that very future. As the only continuously crewed commercial space station designed with users in mind, it offers AI-enabled payload operations, streamlined access to space via a single launch, and a collaborative research ecosystem that accelerates innovation from concept to commercialization. Our global joint venture is already moving the needle for edge computing, materials science, and in-space manufacturing. Ready to lead the next frontier?
