Designs and manufactures commercial space stations in low Earth orbit for crewed missions, microgravity research, and in-space manufacturing.
About
Vast designs and manufactures commercial space stations for long-duration human presence in low Earth orbit. Its first platform, Haven-1, is a single-module station with 45 cubic meters of habitable volume for four crew members on two-week missions, launching in 2027 on a SpaceX Falcon 9. Vast successfully flew Haven Demo in November 2025, a small satellite testbed that validated core subsystems including life support, attitude control, and power systems.
Vast employs a vertically integrated manufacturing model at its Long Beach, California headquarters, producing primary structures, avionics, battery modules, and thermal components. The company secured $500 million in March 2026 through equity and debt, bringing total investment past $1.5 billion. Vast is developing Haven-2, a multi-module station designed to succeed the ISS with 500 cubic meters of habitable volume and 12-person crew capacity. The first Haven-2 module targets 2028, with full assembly by 2032.
