What it builds

Vast is developing Haven-1, a crewed commercial station, along with plans for larger stations.


Why it matters

Private stations could support research, manufacturing and human spaceflight after the International Space Station retires.


Risks
  • ?Crewed spacecraft carry exceptional safety and technical risk.
  • ?Schedules depend on launch providers and regulators.
  • ?Demand for private orbital capacity is still developing.
