I am really liking the energy and focus on the Moon--especially any endeavor that could unlock an orbital or lunar economy. We are never going to have the future we dream of w/numerous space stations and lots of people working and traveling in space, if it all depends exclusively

When W-3 prepared for hypersonic reentry, our friends @LeoLabs_Space were tracking it, and feeding that data to @anduriltech. This operation used Varda's vehicle to demonstrate how operators can track hypersonic space maneuvers. Today, the @nytimes covered that collaboration:

Last week we landed the first commercial spacecraft in Australia. We're excited to take you behind the scenes of those 30 minutes of reentry onboard the spacecraft, in mission control, and with our recovery team out in AU.

Nothing quite like the feeling of a nominal spacecraft commissioning. Like being handed a free ice cream cone on a hot summer day. Deliciousness with some paranoia 🤌
After a comfy ride to space yesterday, we successfully acquired signal from W-2. Initial checkouts are now complete and we can confirm that the capsule is happy and healthy. We're looking forward to seeing Australia soon! @southernlaunch @AusSpaceAgency

The @djkhaled of spaceflight regulation.
We are happy to announce that Varda received our FAA reentry license for our third mission launching in March. This flight, like mission two, will advance pharmaceutical research as well as fly several payloads in support of NASA and other government partners.
