What is this manufacturing process like in terms of timeline? How quickly can you go from completing one weld to the next, is each weld independently verified for integrity before the next can be completed? Or once the process is verified, do individual welds not need to be

Hey Vast. I admire your projects, factories, and team. -What can I trade you to try out your welding rig? -What do you call this welding machine? I believe I have an eye for playing with puddles of particles comparable to the surface temperatures of the sun😉 Third generation welder here👨‍🏭

From the comments, looks as though excitement continues to build. I predict that Vast is going to be huge in 5 to 10 years.

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 🇺🇸.

Terran R build is continuing to ramp up this fall. From avionic builds to expanding of our machine shop capabilities and more. 🔥In prop, teams completed assembly of the second Aeon R engine for first flight and reduced average cycle times across key engine components by 50%. 💻The avionics team is building the flight hub box, which will serve as Terran R’s central node for routing data and distributing power to critical systems. 🚀Welding of the first stage tank is progressing with 3 circumferential friction stir welds now complete.

Simulating station operations on the ground is fundamental to building Haven-1 hardware and improving flight safety. Earlier this month, we tested Impulse Space Saiph Thruster on our multi thruster vacuum stand. Haven Demo flew with 3 thrusters and Haven-1 will operate 48.

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.

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.

Haven Demo is now undergoing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing. This critical test ensures all onboard avionics are protected from signal interference during integration, transport, launch, and spaceflight. As we look ahead to Haven-1, this testing also confirms that the radios on the space station are fully compatible with the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft’s transmitters and receivers.
