SC Solutions is proud to have supported Varda Space Industries of El Segundo, California in the engineering development, analysis, and testing of their Winnebago-1 Re-entry capsule. The Winnebago-1 is the “world’s first space factory”, and was successfully deployed from the Transporter-8 SpaceX rideshare mission following its launch from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB) in California on Monday June 12th.
After demonstrating its first of kind in-space pharmaceutical production capability, the Winnebago-1 is set to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere and land in Utah, where it will be recovered. In doing so, Varda will open a new chapter in the commercialization of space.
