Industrial Capabilities in Space

  • Adi Oltjan, co-founder and chief engineer at StarCloud, introduces the organization's core mission: constructing data centers in space.
  • The proposed industrial strategy involves developing capabilities on the Moon and in deep space.
  • Target raw materials for extraction include silicon, aluminum, iron, and titanium.
  • Extraction methodology utilizes electrolysis and 3D printing of complex structures directly from molten lunar regolith.
  • The process aims for superior efficiency compared to Earth-based operations by leveraging the Moon's lack of gravity support requirements.
  • Y Combinator is actively soliciting applications from founders working on similar space-based industrial technologies.
