Vast and SpaceX team up to launch first commercial space station.

Vast, a California-based startup founded by billionaire Jed McCaleb, plans to launch the first commercial space station in low Earth orbit with SpaceX as its launch partner. The company's first module, Haven-1, will be launched on a Falcon 9 rocket in August 2025, with a four-person crew to spend up to 30 days in orbit. Vast aims to build a 328-foot-long multi-module space station that will spin to produce artificial gravity. The company is seeking to beat competitors like Axiom Space to become the first to send a space station to low Earth orbit.
