The Practicality for Pharma Companies: Microgravity as a Tool, Not the Goal
While space is the environment enabling Varta's innovations, pharmaceutical companies are largely indifferent to the fact that their processes happen in orbit. Their primary concern is the end result: better, more stable, and more effective drugs.
For example, research conducted on the International Space Station has demonstrated that crystallizing drugs in microgravity can fundamentally change their properties. As a result, drugs originally designed for IV administration could be reformulated into injectable shots—improving ease of use, reducing costs, and enhancing patient outcomes.
