Varda Space's W-2 mission came to a successful and spectacular end on Feb. 27 when the capsule reentered the atmosphere and landed at the Koonibba Test Range in South Australia .

The spacecraft carried a spectrometer from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and a pharmaceutical reactor for the company's in-orbit manufacturing plans.

The final two minutes of the video show things really heating up, as the spacecraft interacts with the thick atmosphere at speeds exceeding Mach 25.
