Varda Space Makes History with First Commercial Spacecraft Landing at Utah Test Range
-
Varda Space Industries successfully landed its first spacecraft after delays securing government approvals for reentry.
-
The capsule landed in the Utah desert last week after 8 months in orbit.
-
This was the first commercial spacecraft to land at a military test range facility.
-
Varda was the first company to get a reentry license under the FAA's new streamlined regulations.
-
Coordinating the landing required agreements between Varda, the FAA, Air Traffic Control, and the Utah Test and Training Range.
