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 affordable, commercial space station in 2026: Haven-1. Haven-1 will be Vast's first step toward a long-term commercial presence in orbit. Purpose-built for scientific research, in-space manufacturing, and human habitation, Haven-1 will ensure humanity’s presence in low-Earth orbit. Backed by a world-class team and built with speed, safety, and efficiency at its core, this marks the next era in human space exploration—not just reaching orbit, but staying there. Learn more about how we are making it happen.

Vast introduces Haven-2, our proposed successor to the International Space Station (ISS), at #IAC2024. When fully built, Haven-2 will surpass the ISS in capabilities and cost efficiency. Haven-2’s first module will be operational in 2028, ensuring continued U.S. and international presence in LEO after the ISS’s scheduled retirement in 2030.

Explore Vast's in-house space station manufacturing capability. A space station primary structure hasn’t been manufactured in the United States 🇺🇸 in decades. Haven-1 will be the world’s first commercial space station—a major step toward succeeding the ISS and advancing U.S. innovation and leadership in space. At the core of this effort is the Haven-1 qualification article, a full-scale model designed to rigorously test the structure’s strength, safety, and performance.

In October, we completed a successful fit check of the docking adaptor for Haven-1, marking another key milestone toward launch. Haven-1’s fully tested passive docking adapter, built to international docking system standards and likely the first-ever manufactured for a commercial station, will enable precise crew-vehicle docking.
