The United States Space Force has announced plans to build an orbital factory capable of manufacturing and assembling satellites in space. This innovation aims to reduce the cost and time required to manufacture and launch satellites by eliminating the need for a traditional ground-based assembly line. The project is being developed in partnership with the Space Development Agency (SDA) and is set to launch in 2027. The orbital factory will be capable of producing multiple satellites simultaneously, using advanced manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing and robotic assembly. This will allow for faster production times and greater flexibility in satellite design. Additionally, the factory will be able to repair and upgrade existing satellites, extending their operational lifespan and reducing the need for new satellite launches.

On May the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Space Bureau issued a Public Notice seeking to refresh the record on orbital debris mitigation rule changes originally proposed in a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) released in April 2020. The FNPRM sought comment on the total probability of collisions with large objects, the probability of accidental explosions, maneuverability, post-mission orbital lifetime, casualty risk assessment, indemnification, and whether to require a performance bond for successful disposal.

Samsung today announced that it has developed a Low Power Compression Attached Memory Module (LPCAMM) lineup that leverages LPDDR5X memory in a smaller, faster, and more efficient package than standard memory. Samsung says the new LPDDR5X-6400 modules deliver up to 7.5 gigabits-per-second of memory throughput and consume 60% less board space while delivering 50% more performance than current SO-DIMM memory modules. The dual-channel Samsung LPCAMMs come in 32, 64, and 128GB flavors, delivering a capacious slab of memory in an incredibly small new form factor when they arrive in 2024.

David Manners, components editor. What caught my eye this week was Canon coming up with an alternative to EUV. RISC-V is an instruction set, and would be nothing but an academic exercise without an ecosystem of cores, tools, compilers and operating systems. Some big-hitters in the industry clearly want RISC-as they are teaming up to build this ecosystem.
