MicrogravityNo settling or convection
In orbit, materials float freely. Crystals grow without gravity-driven segregation, producing purer semiconductors and materials with unique properties.
FurnaceHeating in vacuum
The furnace heats materials to 1000°C in the vacuum of space, where they can reach temperatures and compositions impossible in Earth's atmosphere.
ReturnCapsule ejects and is recovered
The microgravity capsule ejects from the satellite and returns to Earth, while the ForgeStar platform is refurbished for relaunch.
