June 8, 2026 – Washington, D.C.—The Commercial Space Federation (CSF) is pleased to welcome Besxar and Charter Space as new space supply chain members, adding expertise in space-based semiconductor manufacturing and specialized risk solutions that support the continued growth and resilience of the U.S. commercial space economy.
BESXAR is pioneering space-based manufacturing to overcome the limits of terrestrial semiconductor fabrication. The company builds reusable “Fabships” that harness the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) of space to produce ultra-pure substrates and precursor materials for next-generation technologies. Besxar’s autonomous orbital manufacturing platforms return to Earth after each mission, delivering materials while capturing insights to refine performance. Serving industries from AI and quantum computing to nuclear technologies and defense, Besxar is advancing domestic semiconductor resilience and redefining how—and where—critical technologies are made.
“Commercial space isn’t a future opportunity. It’s already shaping how the United States competes, innovates, and defends itself. We believe the next chapter of national security and economic leadership will be written above Earth, and forward-looking policy will be essential to realizing that opportunity. At Bexar, we’re rebuilding strategic industrial capacity and extending America’s semiconductor supply chain into space, which is why we joined the Commercial Space Federation. CSF plays a critical role in giving industry a strong, unified voice in Washington, and we’re looking forward to being a part of that effort.” — Ashley Pilipiszyn, Founder and CEO at Besxar.
