Semiconductors in Space: Inside Besxar’s Plan to Redefine Chip Manufacturing 10/30/25
Morgan Brennan sits down with Ashley Pilipiszyn, CEO and founder of Besxar, a startup that just emerged from stealth with a bold mission — manufacturing semiconductors in space. Pilipiszyn explains how Besxar’s autonomous “fab ships” leverage the ultra-high vacuum of space to create ultra-pure wafers and substrates — the foundation for every advanced chip powering AI, data centers, and defense systems. They discuss the company’s upcoming launch campaign with SpaceX and why space-based manufacturing could dramatically cut costs while securing domestic chip supply chains. Pilipiszyn also shares how her time at OpenAI and SLAC National Lab inspired this fusion of AI, materials science, and orbital production — and why she believes in-space manufacturing is American manufacturing.
