Check out our new @vast introduction video. We are ready to build the lower cost, commercial successor to the International Space Station - starting with Haven-1 launching next year.
Thanks for the support @NASA
.@NASA-supported commercial space station, Vast’s Haven-1, recently completed a test of a critical air filter system for keeping future astronauts healthy in orbit. Testing confirmed the system can maintain a safe and healthy atmosphere for all planned Haven-1 mission phases.…
Vast CEO @maxhaot and Vast VP of Business Development @slickf16 appeared as guests on “The Aerospace Advantage” podcast, hosted by Heather Penney, Director of Studies and Research at the @MitchellStudies, to discuss Vast’s mission, the benefit of government and commercial…
Our Lead Pilot @slickf16 and Lead Astronaut @Astro_Feustel have commissioned Vast’s L-39 jet for Oshkosh 2025. Our Haven-1 crew will have flight training opportunities in the jet to support their mission readiness, just as NASA astronauts have done for decades.
We held our first @vast Industry Day event and cut the ribbon for our mission control room and new HQ building. Our campus now has everything we need to design, build, and operate Haven-1, as well as Haven-2, our proposed successor to the ISS. Now, back to building Haven-1.
Vast CEO @maxhaot sat down with @T_E_Howarth of @sciencefocus for an in-depth conversation about Vast’s mission to build the world’s first commercial space station and what the future of human life in space could look like. sciencefocus.com/space/vast-hav…
Last week, Haven Demo, our in-orbit test bed for critical space station technologies, completed vibration testing. This testing simulates the dynamic quasi-static loads and vibration with 3 dB, or 50% more input power, than the spacecraft will experience during launch. This…
Just a scratch - infinite funding (Starlink) and resolve/culture/process/tech/skills of the SpaceX team will get us to Mars. Just a question of time.
The stars still await. Never give up.
The @payloadspace readers have spoken: Good poll result for @vast which entered the NASA CLD (ISS replacement) competition three years late as an underdog with our Haven-1 space station leapfrog strategy. We are just getting started.
Go to space at home!

What an amazing video from Vast. I cannot wait to see this become reality!
Haven-1: The Mission Ahead. Our incredible team at @vast is hard at work turning this trailer into reality next year!
“We are now transitioning to an era where commercial space stations are run by commercial entities, not by the government”: Vast CEO Max Haot (@maxhaot) speaks to NDTV’s @pallavabagla as International Space Station nears retirement
The Road to Making Life Multiplanetary: an update from @elonmusk on SpaceX's plan to reach Mars
In five years, Dragon has flown 17 human spaceflight missions that have achieved incredible feats – flying over the Earth’s poles for the first time, reaching the highest altitude within Earth’s orbit in 50+ years, an EVA from Dragon, and more
Can't wait to fly Haven Demo!
Haven Demo is now fully integrated and undergoing vibration testing at Vast’s headquarters in Long Beach, CA. Haven Demo will test in orbit critical systems such as compute, power, software, guidance and control, propulsion, radios, ground stations, mission control, and more,…
FLIGHT NINE — The largest and most powerful rocket ever developed by humanity, SpaceX’s Starship, is fully stacked at Starbase, Texas, ready for its ninth flight test tomorrow, May 27, between 7:30pm and 8:30pm EDT. Following two consecutive upper-stage failures during Flights 7…
