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.
A historic partnership dedicated to advancing commercial human spaceflight. Thank you to France, @EmmanuelMacron, @CNES for your leadership, and to @ESA for its support as we work together toward two crewed missions in 2027.

@NASASpox Thank you, @NASAAdmin for the collaborative dialogue and for giving the commercial space station industry the opportunity to compete for NASA’s business and win the privilege of building the ISS successor for the U.S. and our allies.
In the spirit of learning from past programmatic challenges and ensuring a responsible transition from the International Space Station, NASA evaluated both the current commercial space station approach and alternative pathways.
Industry has provided extensive feedback making the case for a sustainable commercial market in which NASA is one customer among many, along with assurances regarding available transportation capabilities. The industry position will now shape the path forward as NASA proceeds with the original commercial strategy.
Over the coming weeks, NASA will work with stakeholders and industry to refine flexible requirements and acquisition plans, with a draft RFP expected later this month.
🚀Deux missions spatiales impliquant des astronautes français ont été annoncées aujourd'hui.
@Thom_astro et @Arno_astro voleront en 2027 dans le cadre d'un accord entre la France et la société Vast.
