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. https://t.co/E0Ye5aVw0D

Happy Veterans Day. 🇺🇸

Thank you to every veteran for your service, including those on our team. Today they are helping build space stations and space infrastructure that will keep America and its allies in low-Earth orbit and beyond.

CEO @maxhaot joined selected Vast-PAM-1 Pilot @astro_ales, Lead Astronaut @astro_feustel and Vast Ambassador @indirafeustel at Czech Space Week to discuss the first Czech mission to the ISS and Haven-1, targeted to be the world’s first commercial space station.

We attended UP.Summit at @nasakennedy over the weekend. CEO @maxhaot discussed our in-house technology and capabilities, while visitors took part in a hands-on science activity and toured our full-scale model of Haven-1, targeted to be the world’s first commercial space station.

Haven-1’s composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) are being integrated onto the flight vehicle in our Long Beach headquarters clean room. They store our propellant (nitrous oxide, ethane) and life support (oxygen, nitrox) consumables.

Our Space Medicine team takes a systems-level approach to crew health, from vehicle design to training.

It’s how we’re preparing for Vast-PAM-1, NASA’s sixth awarded private astronaut mission, and Haven-1, targeted to be the world’s first commercial space station. https://t.co/Up316xOGg1

Hull 3, a Haven-1 qualification primary structure, is complete. We manufactured, inspected, and proof tested it in-house in Long Beach in five months, four months faster than Hull 2, the flight structure. Hull 4 is next, allowing us to further refine our process.

Haven-1’s 15 composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) hold thruster propellant, breathing oxygen, and cabin pressure gas. The orange patches on the propellant tanks are Kapton heaters for in-orbit mass gauging and deorbit. Next up: integration on Haven-1.

In the latest episode of IQT Explains, CEO @MaxHaot discusses the engineering of Haven-1, targeted to be the world’s first commercial space station, and how the station’s in-house technologies carry forward to Vast Satellite and Vast Lunar Systems.

At the @ucsdstemcell Symposium, Vast Principal Scientist Meg Everett discussed stem cell research in low-Earth orbit, and Astronaut Advisor @Astro_Megan shared her research experience in space. Attendees toured the Haven-1 Experience.

[Vast @vast]

For LA @Techweek_, we hosted an event during which Vast Astronaut Advisor @Astro_Megan shared stories from her career as a NASA astronaut and attendees toured Haven-1 Experience, our near-scale model of Haven-1.

Congratulations to everyone named in @payloadspace's Pioneers 2026 30-under-30. Vast engineers, Priya Abiram and Brianna Clark, made the list. https://t.co/0dFRUdB7PK and https://t.co/R6S1uD9i89

[Vast @vast]

Last week, Lead Astronaut @astro_feustel and Vast Japan General Manager @astro_naoko spoke on several panels at @IAC2026Antalya, discussing the evolution of human spaceflight over the last few decades and their personal experiences of living and working in orbit.

[Vast @vast]

Thank you to @SenatorFischer and @DesJarlaisTN04 for visiting Vast HQ in Long Beach, CA. The Senate and House Armed Services Strategic Forces leaders saw first-hand how we're building next-generation space infrastructure with dual-use national security applications.

[Vast @vast]

We welcomed Program Manager Carlos García-Galán and Chief Architect Nujoud Merancy of the @NASAMoonBase program to our Long Beach HQ. We showcased capabilities we intend to leverage to support a permanent crewed presence on the lunar surface.

[Vast @vast]

The Vast-PAM-1 crew @thom_astro, @astro_ales, and @astro_adrianos visited Vast HQ to kickoff their orientation, headed to @SpaceX for suit fittings, sampled crew food options at Vast and @NASA, and met some of the teams behind the mission.

[Vast @vast]

Vast is part of LA @Techweek_. Come hear from Vast Astronaut Advisor @Astro_Megan about her experiences in low-Earth orbit on Oct. 13 at 6p at our Long Beach HQ. Stay for a tour of the Haven-1 Experience, our near-scale model of Haven-1.

Vast CEO @maxhaot joined a panel at @IAC2026Antalya to discuss Haven-1’s progress and the importance of commercial space stations to sustain a continuous human presence in low-Earth orbit after the ISS retires.

[Max Haot @maxhaot]

Thank you Josef. We value the growing relationship between @esa and @vast. Finding a path to continue the transatlantic partnership into the post-ISS commercial space station era is a top priority for Vast.

[Vast @vast]

Vast and @esa are taking our cooperation to the next level. Ensuring a continued transatlantic partnership in the post-ISS commercial space station era is a top priority for Vast. @IAC2026Antalya. https://t.co/92DHt2b4M9
