Ballistic Reentry
Varda Space Industries
Varda executes ballistic reentry for its capsules, starting at Mach 25, to gather critical information for the reentry and hypersonic community.
About this service
Varda offers the service of performing ballistic reentry for its capsules. Once the capsule is in the correct position, a reentry burn is executed, setting the capsule on a ballistic trajectory. This phase begins at Mach 25 and continues until parachutes are released at terminal velocity. This specific phase of flight is designed to gather the majority of information relevant to the reentry and hypersonic community, providing valuable data from real-world conditions.
