Varda's W-1 Capsule Set for February 21 Utah Landing with FAA 450 License

Varda Space Industries has received approval from the FAA to bring its drug manufacturing spacecraft, the W-1 capsule, back to Earth, marking a significant milestone in space manufacturing. The spacecraft, which has been in orbit for 8 months, is set to land in the Utah desert on February 21. This event follows the FAA's issuance of the first-ever part FAA 450 license for re-entry on American soil, a key achievement for Varda and the space industry.
