Vast

Now is the time to meet @NASA's call to transition its low-Earth orbit presence from the International Space Station (ISS) to a lower-cost commercial option. Vast is ready to deliver for America and our international partners. We will be delivering the world's first, most…

We are honored to work closely with @NASASpaceOps as we design, test, and build the systems for Haven-1, the world’s first commercial space station, launching in May of 2026. nasa.gov/humans-in-spac…

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.

Vast has officially opened its new Long Beach headquarters, a 189,690 sq. ft. campus to support the world’s first commercial space station and the successor to the International Space Station. @LongBeachMayor and @cwmegankerr joined Vast Founder @JedMcCaleb, CEO @maxhaot, and…

We’re running the final qualification milestone of a critical piece of flight hardware for Haven Demo: the Power Distribution Unit (PDU). The PDU is responsible for distributing battery and solar power to the avionics, propulsion, and communication systems that control the…

Happy Fourth of July. We're proud to build next-generation space stations, engineered and manufactured in the USA. 🇺🇸

Haven Demo moves into the Thermal Vacuum chamber (TVAC), where we simulate the extreme temperatures and vacuum conditions of space. This test allows our team to replicate vehicle operations in space and gain valuable insights that will help us prepare for Haven Demo being…

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…

Experience Haven-1, the world’s first commercial space station, in virtual reality (VR): vastspace.com/haven-1-vr Join @Astro_Feustel, former @NASA Acting Chief Astronaut and Lead Astronaut at Vast, as he narrates the immersive journey through the next-generation space-station,…

Last week, Vast Lead Astronaut @Astro_Feustel took the stage at @VivaTech with our Haven-1 Lab partner @InterstellarLA to discuss the future of space exploration and habitation. The Haven-1 Lab will be the world’s first microgravity research, development, and manufacturing…

The era of commercial space stations begins with Haven-1, launching next year. Whether you're a sovereign nation, space agency, scientist, company, or private astronaut—the time is now. Join our mission and help pioneer the next giant leap in space exploration.

We’ve completed the second circumferential weld on Haven-1’s flight primary structure. This is the second of ten such welds that are required to complete the station’s flight hull.

💯@NASA-supported commercial space station Vast’s Haven-1 recently passed a test to confirm its critical air filter system can maintain a safe and healthy atmosphere for all planned mission phases. Read more about the testing that took place at #NASAMarshall >>…

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,…

Before we begin welding flight hardware for Haven-1, our team is validating the process using a development simulator for the Thermal Pump Tray Assembly, the heart of our thermal system. The simulation allows us to verify that our welding approach is repeatable, reliable, and…

To evaluate the performance of our Haven-1 domed window, the team conducted nighttime star photography tests. This setup allowed us to assess how light sources, such as stars and the Moon, interact with the window’s multiple panes. We evaluated camera views through the window and…
