Haven Demo: The Road to Haven-1 Vast is the only operational commercial space station company to have flown and operated its own spacecraft in orbit, validating key technologies for the world's first commercial station. vastspace.com/haven-demo

Mission complete. After three months in orbit and 49 tests completed validating critical systems, components, and processes, we have successfully performed a controlled deorbit of Haven Demo, our in-space testbed for Haven-1 technologies. Read more. vastspace.com/updates/haven-…

Vast is developing Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMGs) in-house to provide attitude control for Haven-1 and future stations. Our CMGs are air-cooled; we will test the cooling ducts in our full-scale life support testing module to verify nominal temperatures are maintained.

The Haven-1 sleep system addresses challenges that hinder sleep in space through optimized lighting, airflow, comforting pressure, and easy egress. Here, Vast Astronaut Advisor @astro_megan provides feedback on the design so that we can maximize quality rest for crew.

The @FAANews has made a favorable payload determination for Haven-1 following interagency review with NASA, the State Department, the Commerce Department, and national security stakeholders. This marks another step forward in launching Haven-1, expected to be the world's first commercial station when it is ready to launch in Q1 2027.

Our recent news made it to the #nyse trading floor while Times Square visitors got a preview of Haven-1, scheduled to launch in 2027 and become the world’s first commercial space station.

Vast CEO @maxhaot joined @TBPN hosts @johncoogan and @jordihays to discuss our $500M in funding and how it will accelerate our mission to ensure a continuous human presence in low-Earth orbit while fueling the growth of this new space economy.

"Vast is confident that, should NASA issue the next phase of the Commercial LEO Destinations program and awards for private providers this year, we will be ready to support a continuous human presence in low-Earth orbit by the end of 2030,” @maxhaot, Vast CEO

The @NASA Authorization Act of 2026 reflects the @SenateCommerce strong commitment to advancing U.S. leadership in human space exploration and supporting the growing commercial space economy. Vast shares the Committee’s concern about a potential gap in access to low-Earth orbit and agree that NASA should move quickly to issue the RFP for the next phase of the Commercial LEO Destinations program. We appreciate the Committee’s rationale for authorizing an International Space Station extension in that context. If the RFP is released promptly and awarded in 2026, Vast will be ready by 2030 to help ensure America’s continuous human presence in LEO.

Vast Lead Astronaut @Astro_Feustel joined a panel on stage at the Air & Space Forces Association Warfare Symposium last week, discussing the potential of Guardians to use future crewed low-Earth orbit platforms for Space Force operations.

Last week we had the privilege of hosting @FCC Space Bureau Chief Jay Schwarz at Vast headquarters in Long Beach, CA and showcasing our Haven-1 hardware, including MMOD shielding and cabin interfaces. We appreciate the FCC's proactive engagement in advancing American space innovation.

We celebrated the official opening of our first international office, Vast Japan GK, alongside local leaders from JAXA, government, finance, industry, and academia, as well as NASA and ESA representatives.
