Varda is a space manufacturing startup that focuses on creating products and drugs in space for terrestrial applications. It is building a fleet of uncrewed space capsules that can function as orbital laboratories or manufacturing platforms for products whose development in space yields better efficiencies or purities than in the gravity of Earth. The company since 2023 has deployed six missions to orbit with its gumdrop-shaped free-flying W-Series capsule, with all but its fourth mission successfully re-entering from space. It plans to debut a next-generation capsule in 2030.
