/PRNewswire/ -- Varda Space Industries announced a Series D fundraising round today, bringing the total amount of capital raised by the microgravity-enabled life sciences company to $598 million. The $251 million fundraise was led by Lux Capital and Natural Capital, with participation from Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, Caffeinated Capital, General Catalyst, 8090 Industries, Giant Step, and Also Capital..

/PRNewswire/ -- Varda Space Industries 今日宣布完成D轮融资，使这家利用微重力技术开展生命科学业务的公司累计融资总额达到5.98亿美元。本轮2.51亿美元的融资由Lux Capital和Natural Capital领投，Founders Fund、Khosla Ventures、Caffeinated Capital、General Catalyst、8090 Industries、Giant Step以及Also Capital等机构参投。

The first product made in space for use on Earth will be a pharmaceutical. Due to the absence of gravity, materials such as the active pharmaceutical ingredients in medicines can be crystallized in ways that would be impossible on Earth, enabling novel drug formulations that can benefit patients.

首个在太空制造并用于地球的产品将是一种药物。由于缺乏重力，药品中的活性药物成分等材料可以以在地球上无法实现的方式结晶，从而开发出能够使患者受益的新型药物制剂。

The company is transforming in-space pharmaceutical processing to be a normal, reliable part of the drug development pipeline.

该公司正在将太空药物加工转变为药物研发流程中常规且可靠的一环。

'In-space manufacturing means building what space needs, in space, and making what Earth can't. Varda is making life-saving drugs impossible to make under gravity. It's the first and only company delivering a real cadence of launches and re-entries, with capsules built to manufacture the impossible and return it home,' said Shahin Farshchi, Partner at Lux Capital..

“太空制造意味着在太空中构建太空所需之物，并制造地球无法生产的产品。Varda 正在生产在重力环境下无法制造的救命药物。它是唯一一家实现稳定发射与再入节奏的公司，其返回舱专为制造‘不可能’之物并将其送回地球而设计。”Lux Capital 合伙人沙欣·法尔希（Shahin Farshchi）表示。

Building Toward the First Medicine Made in Space

迈向首款太空制造药物

Decades of ISS research have demonstrated microgravity's potential to produce drug formulations that are impossible to achieve on Earth, and Varda is now the only company with the launch cadence, reentry capability, and pharmaceutical science team to bring that potential to market.

数十年的国际空间站研究已经证明了微重力环境在制备地球上无法实现的药物制剂方面的潜力，而Varda现在是唯一拥有发射频率、再入能力以及药学科学团队的公司，能够将这一潜力转化为市场产品。

'We started Varda with the conviction that the first product manufactured in space and consumed on Earth would be a pharmaceutical,' said Varda co-founder and President Delian Asparouhov. 'This round gives us the resources to increase our cadence, deepen our pharmaceutical partnerships, get closer to delivering the first medicine made in space.'.

“我们创立Varda时坚信，首款在太空制造并在地球消费的产品将是药品。”Varda联合创始人兼总裁Delian Asparouhov表示。“本轮融资为我们提供了资源，以加快研发节奏，深化与制药企业的合作伙伴关系，并更接近于交付首款在太空制造的药品。”

Since its first mission launched in 2023, Varda has rapidly increased its flight cadence, completing six successful reentry missions with over a dozen more launches and reentries planned through 2028. Varda's W-Series vehicles, which reach Mach 25 on their reentry from orbit, offer government and commercial partners a reliable, repeatable, and economical way to return materials and data from space to Earth..

自2023年执行首次任务以来，Varda公司迅速提升了飞行频次，已成功完成六次再入任务，并计划到2028年前再进行十余次发射和再入。Varda的W系列飞行器在从轨道返回时会达到25马赫的速度，为政府和商业合作伙伴提供了一种可靠、可重复且经济的方式，将材料和数据从太空带回地球。

As launch cadence across the industry continues to increase, the ability to bring things back will become as foundational as the ability to send them up.

随着整个行业的发射频率持续增加，将物体回收的能力将变得与将其送入太空的能力一样基础。
