Varda Space Industries
Varda Space Industries is an In-Space Infrastructure & Servicing company founded in 2020 and based in El Segundo, United States. It has raised $328M in total funding, most recently a Series C in 2025.
Founded in 2020, El Segundo-based Varda Space Industries operates autonomous capsules that process pharmaceuticals and materials in microgravity then reenter Earth's atmosphere and land on demand. It completed its first successful capsule reentry in February 2024 and has flown multiple missions since, carrying both commercial drug-crystallization experiments and Air Force Research Laboratory hypersonic-reentry payloads. Varda raised a $187M Series C in July 2025, bringing total funding to roughly $329 million, and is scaling toward a recurring cadence of orbital manufacturing and return flights.
Varda is the first commercial operator of in-space manufacturing-and-return, opening orbit as a factory floor and on-demand reentry as a service.
