program, from U.K.-based Space Forge, aims to harness the unique environment of space to create ultra-pure materials that cannot be replicated on Earth. The key opportunities lie in producing high-performance semiconductors and super-alloys with fewer defects and superior properties, thanks to the low-gravity and vacuum conditions of space.</p> <p>Space Forge’s ForgeStar satellites will be used to produce advanced materials such as alloys, proteins and semiconductors in the ultra-vacuum and microgravity conditions of space. Manufacturing in low Earth orbit (LEO) has huge potential across sectors from medicine to advanced electronics. Two examples — high frequency amplifiers and super alloys — that Space Forge is focused are described in the next two paragraphs.</p> <p>High frequency amplifiers: Space Forge already produces wide and ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors, which are crucial for high-frequency amplifiers in cell towers. Earth-made semiconductors often suffer from defects due to atmospheric contamination and gravity-induced lattice rotations, leading to significant energy loss. By producing these materials in the “ultimate cleanroom” of space, there is the opportunity to create semiconductors with far fewer defects, significantly improving their thermal conductivity and overall efficiency. This improvement could halve the energy consumption of cell towers, leading to substantial CO<sub>2</sub> emissions savings.</p> <p>Super alloys for aircraft turbines: Today’s jet engine efficiency is heavily dependent on the strength and quality of turbine blade materials. Space Forge aims to produce superior single crystal alloys and ceramics in space, free from the contamination and buoyancy effects present on Earth. These space-made materials could result in turbine blades that are 30-50 percent lighter, translating to a potential — and massive — 10 percent increase in aircraft efficiency, along with the substantial fuel and emissions savings that would bring over the aircraft’s lifetime.</p> <p>The main technical challenge is ensuring the safe and reliable return of materials produced to Earth. Program goals include demonstrating the viability of this re-usable satellite technology and proving that space-made materials can significantly outperform their Earth-made counterparts. Space Forge aims to achieve these milestones within the next 12 to 24 months, with a critical test run planned within the next year.</p> <figure title=""><img src='data:image/svg+xml;base64,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' data-src='https://res.cloudinary.com/tbmg/c_scale,w_auto,f_auto,q_auto/v1725494026/sites/adt/articles/2024/features/ADT-0824-p10_fig1.jpg' class=' w-100 cld-responsive' alt='' /> <figcaption>A computer generated image of the ForgeStar solar array satellite that is currently in development.

The data will be used to assess the impact of microgravity on the effective manufacture, in the ultra-vacuum conditions of space, of advanced materials such as alloys, proteins and semiconductors.</p> <figure title=""><img src='data:image/svg+xml;base64,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' data-src='https://res.cloudinary.com/tbmg/c_scale,w_auto,f_auto,q_auto/v1725494026/sites/adt/articles/2024/features/ADT-0824-p11_fig1.jpg' class=' w-100 cld-responsive' alt='' /> <figcaption>Silicon Sensing’s CAS291 orthogonal accelerometer. (Image: Silicon Sensing Systems)</figcaption></figure> <p>In LEO applications such as the ForgeStar program, space, weight, and power are critical constraints, given the compact size of the CubeSat which will require lower power, highly sensitive accelerometers to accurately measure low gravitational forces. The CAS291 is supplied as a small (10.4 × 6.7 × 2.7 mm), surface-mounted package in both flat and orthogonal variations, enabling acceleration to be measured on all required axis. It is able to measure linear acceleration by using a silicon MEMS detector, forming an orthogonal pair of sprung masses. Each mass provides the moving plate of a variable capacitor formed by an array of interlaced ‘fingers’. When linear acceleration occurs, it results in a change of capacitance which is measured by demodulation of the square wave excitation. This structure yields a robust design, enabling the CAS accelerometer series to measure a wide range of gravitational forces ranging from ±0.85g to ±96g.</p> <figure title=""><img src='data:image/svg+xml;base64,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' data-src='https://res.cloudinary.com/tbmg/c_scale,w_auto,f_auto,q_auto/v1725494026/sites/adt/articles/2024/features/ADT-0824-p11_fig2.jpg' class=' w-100 cld-responsive' alt='' /> <figcaption>Silicon Sensing’s CAS290 Series.

Over a relatively short term, we believe ForgeStar will bring about real progress towards successful manufacture in space – and to achieving the related performance and environmental benefits that will stem from that.”</p> <p>As the ForgeStar program advances, the collaboration between Space Forge and Silicon Sensing stands as a testament to the transformative potential of MEMS technology. The successful integration of the CAS291 accelerometer into the CubeSat platform not only underscores the versatility and precision of modern MEMS devices but also paves the way for groundbreaking advancements in space manufacturing. The ability to produce high-quality materials in the microgravity environment of space could revolutionize various industries on Earth.</p> <p>Looking ahead, the continued development of MEMS technology will likely unlock new possibilities for space exploration and utilization, ensuring that projects like ForgeStar remain at the forefront of scientific and technological progress. As the boundaries of what is achievable in space continue to expand, the role of precise, reliable, and compact sensors will be crucial in realizing the full potential of this environment.</p> <p><em>This article was written by Dr. Mark Marshall, Chief Engineer, Silicon Sensing Systems Ltd., (Devon, U.K.).
