Vast and SpaceX to Launch Commercial Space Station in 2025

Vast is partnering with SpaceX to launch its Haven-1 commercial space station as soon as August 2025, with a follow-up Vast-1 mission using Crew Dragon to bring four people to Haven-1 for up to 30 days. Haven-1 is relatively small and mainly intended for science and small-scale orbital manufacturing. Vast hopes to make Haven-1 just one module in a larger station, and it can simulate the Moon's gravity by spinning. Vast's 2025 target is ambitious and might see it beat well-known rivals to deploying a private space station.
