A new company emerged from space last week that plans to take the manufacturing of one of the most important components of computer chips and put it in space. Why? Not for the weightlessness, but for the vacuum.

Besxar Space Industries emerged from stealth last week with a plan to move semiconductor manufacturing to space. Using what it calls “Fabships,” the company plans to launch its reusable payload into orbit around Earth, produce semiconductors, and return to harvest its reward.

The company signed a launch deal to send 24 of its “Fabships” into space on its Falcon 9 rocket, two at a time, and its first launch could take place as soon as this year.

Ashley Pilipiszyn, founder and CEO of Besxar and a former OpenAI employee, explains that the world needs better-made semiconductors and to do that, you have to do it in a vacuum. She says that many Earth-based manufacturers are already investing in vacuum technology to get a better, more perfect vacuum, but that it is difficult.

On Earth, the closest anyone has gotten to a similar vacuum that can be found in space was at CERN. However, even just mentioning CERN, which houses the Large Hadron Collider, a machine designed to recreate the creation of the universe, means it’s extremely expensive. In space, the vacuum is perfect and is in a constant, stable state.

While better performance for whenever GTA 6 comes out would be great, it sounds like Besxar is targeting the data center market for its semiconductors.
