Made in Space is bringing manufacturing to space through a suite of products that can be used on Earth, in low Earth orbit, and beyond.
Innovative ideas
Made in Space is taking an entrepreneurial approach to developing in-space manufacturing capabilities, leveraging both falling launch costs and current in-space assets such as the International Space Station (ISS).
While the long-term vision of the Company is to be able to provide the infrastructure needed for Mars settlement and deep-space exploration, the Company has developed technologies with current applications on Earth and in LEO to support and grow the business.
The company has developed a 3D-printer capable of working in space which is currently on the ISS, and has also built a device that is capable of producing optical fiber cable that is 100x more efficient than terrestrially produced fiber cable.
BIG potential
This fiber optic cable has massive applications on Earth for high-speed data transmission including data centers and long-haul telecommunications.
Manufacturing is a critical component of the space economy that will be needed. A scalable, low-cost method of providing materials to build structures and develop an infrastructure will be essential to pushing humanity beyond LEO.
