- Vast is collaborating with NASA on technologies and operations required for its microgravity and artificial gravity stations.
- This includes the Haven-1 commercial destination, which will provide a microgravity environment for crew, research, and in-space manufacturing, and the first crewed mission, called Vast-1, to the platform.
- Development activities for larger space station modules will also take place under the Space Act Agreement.
Roadmap as of 2024-07-01
- The Haven-1 Lab, set to launch no earlier than the second half of 2025 on Haven-1, will be a hub for companies, governments, and other entities to collaborate on science, research, and in-space manufacturing.
- In tandem with Vast’s announcement of its Haven-1 Lab, the company also announced Redwire and Yuri as its inaugural partners, representing some of the foremost experts in the development of microgravity payloads.

Private astronaut missions
Vast seeks to bid on future ISS private astronaut missions, SpaceNews, 2024-02-22
- Would bid on the fifth and sixth private astronaut missions, or PAMs, that NASA offers to companies seeking to flying commercial missions to the ISS.
- Haot says Vast wants to reap similar benefits as it prepares for its station. “To be able to leverage the ISS and learn, and work closely with NASA, is really a key part of the transition” from the ISS to commercial stations.
Vast signs agreement with SpaceX for private astronaut missions to the ISS, 2024-12-19.
- Signed a deal with SpaceX for two private astronaut missions to the International Space Station, pending NASA approval.
- “Enabling payload and crewed missions to the ISS is a key part of Vast’s strategy, allowing us to further our collaboration with NASA and global space agencies,” Max Haot, chief executive of Vast, said in a statement. “These missions not only strengthen our expertise in human spaceflight operations and collaboration with NASA but also position Vast as a leading contender to deliver the next-generation successor to the ISS.”
