The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a reentry license to Varda Space’s manufacturing capsule, allowing the first batch of space drugs to return back to Earth. California-based Varda Space Industries had been struggling to land its first orbital factory, which was originally meant to return to Earth in September 2023 but was denied reentry. Following months of trying, the company was finally granted its reentry license from the FAA, which will allow it to land its capsule at the Utah Test and Training Range on February 21, Varda announced.
