About Varda Space Industries
Varda Space Industries is a space manufacturing company that produces pharmaceutical ingredients in the microgravity of low Earth orbit. It designs and flies small autonomous capsules that grow drug crystals in space and then return them to Earth aboard a reentry vehicle, targeting formulations that are hard to produce under normal gravity. The company also operates its reentry capsules as a hypersonic testbed for government and defense customers. Varda makes money by selling its in-space manufacturing and pharmaceutical processing services to biopharma clients and by providing flight testing and reentry services to government agencies. The company has historically partnered with SpaceX to launch their capsules into space.
