In-Space  Manufacturing Symposium

June 11, 2025 JW Marriott, Austin, TX


Texas A&M Semiconductor Institute (TSI) in conjunction with the National Science Foundation (NSF) present a special In-Space Manufacturing Symposium addressing novel technology opportunities and challenges for space manufacturing. This program aligns with TSI’s NSF-supported initiative titled: “CHIPS in Space: An Alliance for Pioneering Space-Based Semiconductor Manufacturing to Advanced Science and Establish US Preeminence in Semiconductors.” The symposium will bring together experts, researchers, government, and industry leaders to discuss the latest developments in in-space manufacturing for both space exploration and terrestrial applications.
