A part of Rocket Lab's Photon spacecraft was launched io space in the SpaceX transport mission. Varda has used this spacecraft to test manufacturing technologies in space. In an ierview about this experime, Varda's CEO Will Berry says: Our goal is to produce pharmaceuticals in space. The gravity-free environme allows us to make drugs with a new chemical process and formulation.
Winnebago was on top of the Photon spacecraft for 8 mohs, providing the capsule's power and propulsion. This capsule can be considered the first team work between Rocket Lab and Varda. The images and data obtained in this mission will also be se by Varda to NASA and the Air Force under the coract with this agency.
