That’s a wrap on 2025: the year Vast became the only operational commercial space station company to fly and operate its own spacecraft in orbit with Haven Demo. Onward to 2026.

The exact moment on Friday when the ESA Cluster operations team recovered Salsa for one final orbit after its searing hot final perigee knocked the spacecraft into survival mode. That final orbit comes to an end in just ~90 minutes. 👏🥲

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.

The first Haven-1 solar wing has completed its qualification campaign, culminating in a deployment test performed at Vast in Long Beach with support from our partner, DHV Technology. The wing's six deployable solar panels produce 1.2kW of power in standard orbit conditions. With Haven-1 set to fly twelve wings, a total of 14.4kW is available to power avionics, payloads, and everything in between.

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.
