A Washington, D.C.-based startup, Besxar, has entered into a launch agreement with SpaceX to advance semiconductor manufacturing technology by leveraging the unique environment of space.

The company plans to attach experimental payloads to the boosters of Falcon 9 rockets. Their research will focus on exploring the benefits of space’s vacuum conditions for producing semiconductors.

By utilizing space’s distinct environment, Besxar aims to innovate and improve semiconductor manufacturing processes, potentially leading to breakthroughs that are not achievable on Earth.

This collaboration with SpaceX marks a significant step forward for the startup as it seeks to push the boundaries of technology through space-based experimentation.
