Vast, a California (United States of America) based Space startup, has announced a plan to launch the world’s first commercial space station, called Haven-1 in partnership with SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies) using the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to low-Earth orbit as soon as August 2025.
Haven-1 will initially act as an independent crewed space station before connecting as a module to a larger Vast space station.
The initial mission will be followed by a Crew Dragon mission called Vast-1 that will transport four astronauts to the module for a stay of up to 30 days.
Vast-1 will also launch atop a Falcon 9, and its astronauts will ride on a SpaceX Dragon capsule.
The first station Haven-1 of Vast featuring artificial gravity powered by rotational velocity and initially Haven-1 is intended to operate on its own, but will eventually become one module in a larger Vast station, and it can simulate the Moon’s gravity by spinning.
