Varda Space Industries operates at the intersection of space innovation and production. Leveraging microgravity conditions, they develop products with unique morphologies and crystal structures unattainable on Earth due to gravity's influence. Their operating model includes manufacturing within spacecrafts serving as orbital platforms, coupled with efficient reentry systems for product recovery. Varda's autonomous reentry capsules safely deliver these space-manufactured products back to Earth. By opening up low Earth orbit to industrial use, Varda aims to spearhead a solar industrial revolution, transcending terrestrial economic limitations. They design and construct essential infrastructure for in-orbit production, aiming to make space more accessible for commercial purposes.
