The space factory: Cardiff company making semiconductors in space

It may sound like science fiction, but a factory floating high above the Earth could soon become a reality.

About the size of a microwave, the factory made by Cardiff-based company, Space Forge, has taken an important step, sending the small factory into orbit.

Space Forge plans to use the factory to make semiconductors. These tiny components are used in everyday technology, including phones, tablets and games consoles.

They say making these parts in space could help them work better back on Earth.
