Intuitive Machines will enable the production of chips in space and their return – with Space Forge

  • No comments
After the historic landing on the moon, the American company is collaborating with Space Forge to develop a commercial return system – towards producing pure crystals in orbit around the Earth for the global chip market.
Megan MacArthur, NASA's Mission 65 pilot to the International Space Station, works in the Zero Gravity Science Glove Box and exchanges samples for an experiment called Barrier Sealed Ampoule Coagulation, or SUBSA. The physics experiment investigates experimental methods for coagulating solutions in zero gravity and is expected to lead to reduced fluid movement in the solution, Which will allow for a better distribution of the components and the potential to improve the technology used to produce semiconductor crystals.
