Varda Space, the off-Earth drug manufacturer, has postponed its plans to bring its spacecraft, which is being used to develop pharmaceuticals in space, back to Earth. The US Air Force (USAF) denied Varda's request to land its module on a training area in Utah due to safety concerns, while the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rejected Varda's reentry application for failing to comply with regulatory requirements. Varda has requested a reconsideration from the FAA. The spacecraft, which has been in space since June, aims to utilize microgravity to manufacture drugs differently.
