Space Forge commercial space transportation service

Space Forge, supported by ESA's Boost! programme will offer a six-month round-trip commercial space transportation service. This will enable companies to manufacture in space very pure and more capable materials, discover new pharmaceutical drugs and bring them back for use on Earth.

As part of this, Space Forge, based in the UK, is working with partners to develop ForgeStar – a reusable suitcase-sized vehicle that can be lofted to space and which will return to Earth after an up to six-month stay in low Earth orbit.
