Carrying payloads from the Air Force Research Laboratory and NASA\u2019S Ames Research Center, W-2 will also conduct research to expand the capability and capacity of Varda\u2019s pharmaceutical processing hardware in orbit before it\u2019s hypersonic re-entry and recovery in South Australia.<\/p>\n<p>\nLike its predecessors, W-3 is based on Rocket Lab\u2019s Pioneer spacecraft, leveraging vertically integrated spacecraft components and subsystems, including spacecraft propulsion, flight software, avionics, reaction wheels, star trackers, separation system, solar panels, radios, composite structures and tanks, and more. The spacecraft will provide power, communications, propulsion, and attitude control for Varda\u2019s 120kg manufacturing capsule, which uses microgravity conditions to develop products that are difficult or impossible to create on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>\nOnce on-orbit production is complete, Rocket Lab and Varda will conduct in-space operations, reentry positioning maneuvers to deorbit, land, and recover Varda\u2019s capsule in Australia at the Koonibba Test Range, operated by Southern Launch.<\/p>\n<p>\nSir Peter Beck, Rocket Lab founder and CEO, stated, &#8220;Delivering W-3 while W-2 is actively operating in orbit demonstrates our team\u2019s exceptional ability to manage multiple complex missions in parallel. It really highlights the skill of our team and the strength of our integrated spacecraft technologies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;By increasing the cadence of manufacture, launch, and reentry, we are building the foundation for a thriving orbital economy,&#8221; said Wendy Shimata, Varda Space Industries Vice President of Autonomous Systems. &#8220;Our goal is to decrease the time between missions until it&#8217;s commonplace for capsules to bring products made in space back to people on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>\nW-3 is scheduled for launch no earlier than March from VSFB. The fourth and final spacecraft for Varda is currently undergoing final assembly at Rocket Lab\u2019s Spacecraft Production Complex and Headquarters in Long Beach, California.<\/p>\n<p>\nLearn more about Rocket Lab\u2019s spacecraft for Varda: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rocketlabusa.com%2Fmissions%2Fupcoming-missions%2Fvarda-space-industries%2F&amp;esheet=54204390&amp;newsitemid=20250212539705&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Varda+Space+Industries+%7C+Rocket+Lab+%28rocketlabusa.com%29&amp;index=2&amp;md5=4ff9dc498f835feeb7ce306482d7c174\">Varda Space Industries | Rocket Lab (rocketlabusa.com)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>+ About Rocket Lab<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nFounded in 2006, Rocket Lab is an end-to-end space company with an established track record of mission success.
