Polaris Dawn Dragon spacecraft achieved its nominal orbit, with an apogee height of 1,400 km and a quite low perigee of 200 km – The orbit period is around 100 minutes at an inclination of 51.7 degrees. Polaris Dawn will break several records, as SpaceX wants to fly a manned mission through the Van Allen belt, perform the first-ever commercial extravehicular activity (EVA), and a laser satellite-to-spacecraft link with Starlink.

Haven Demo build and test are complete, and it is now undergoing final integration for launch. Meanwhile, we’re moving toward critical systems testing and continuing to build momentum on Haven-1 flight hardware. Haven-1’s primary structure qualification article has successfully completed its test campaign at our Mojave, CA facility, while the flight structure has been fully welded and is being prepared for pressure testing. Designed, manufactured, and tested in-house in the 🇺🇸.

Last week, Haven Demo, our in-orbit test bed for critical space station technologies, completed vibration testing. This testing simulates the dynamic quasi-static loads and vibration with 3 dB, or 50% more input power, than the spacecraft will experience during launch. This proves margin and gives us high confidence that the spacecraft will survive the rigors of the launch environment. We are now one step closer to flight readiness, with this test verifying Haven Demo’s structural integrity for launch.

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.
