ISS National Lab picks startups in chips and biomanufacturing
Original: Semiconductors, biomanufacturing and dual-use tech fill ISS National Lab’s startup cohort
The ISS National Lab has announced its latest startup cohort, focused on semiconductors, biomanufacturing and dual-use technologies. The programme gives early-stage companies access to the International Space Station's research environment for projects that are difficult to run on Earth, such as microgravity materials work. The selection highlights growing commercial interest in using the orbiting laboratory for advanced manufacturing and strategic technology development, with the chosen startups expected to advance in-space production efforts in sectors considered important to US industrial and national security priorities.
Why now: Interest is rising in commercial in-space manufacturing and dual-use technology as the space economy grows.
