About Varda: 

Building the Foundations of a Thriving Orbital Economy

Varda Space Industries is a microgravity-enabled life sciences and hypersonic logistics company designing and building the infrastructure needed to make low Earth orbit accessible to multiple industries, from in-orbit pharmaceutical processing equipment to reliable and economical reentry capsules.

Varda was founded in January 2021 by Will Bruey and Delian Asparouhov. The company is headquartered in El Segundo, California, with 200 employees, as well as office space, laboratories, and industrial production space. Varda also has offices in Washington, D.C. and Huntsville, Alabama. 

Processing materials in microgravity, the near-weightless conditions found in low Earth orbit, offers a unique environment not available through terrestrial manufacturing. Varda’s cost-effective, end-to-end system for testing the ways gravity may impact small molecule crystallization is the first commercial offering of its kind, making it possible for industry to access space to advance strategic capabilities through rapid testing and data generation.

By utilizing Varda’s orbital platform and hypersonic reentry testbed, partners can develop atailored cadence for launch, reentry, and collection that is faster and less expensive than other options, to rapidly generate impactful data and discover new science.
