About us
Vast is developing next-generation space stations to ensure continuous human presence in space for America and its allies, enabling advanced microgravity research and manufacturing, and unlocking a new space economy for government, corporate, and private customers. Using an incremental, hardware-rich and low-cost approach, Vast is rapidly developing its multi-module Haven Station. Haven Demo’s 2025 success made Vast the only operational commercial space station company to fly and operate its own spacecraft. Next, Haven-1 is expected to become the world’s first commercial space station when it launches in 2027, followed by additional Haven modules to enable permanent human presence by 2030. With more than 1,000 employees at its Long Beach, California headquarters and over a billion dollars in private capital invested, Vast has built the facilities required to manufacture and operate America’s next space station. The company plans to develop future habitats for the Moon and Mars, dedicated space stations for government partners, and other crewed systems that will unlock the expanding long-term space economy.

Congratulations to Yuri and European Space Agency - ESA on this important milestone.
🚀 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲. We’re proud to share that Yuri has signed its first contract with European Space Agency - ESA to deliver a life-science mission on Haven-1, the world’s first commercial space station, launching in 2027. With our ScienceTaxi platform, we will provide Lab-as-a-Service for ESA, enabling faster, more flexible, and scalable access to microgravity for research and innovation. This milestone is bigger than a single mission: It shows that commercial LEO is becoming reality, and that Europe is actively shaping the post-ISS era together with strong partners like Vast and ESA.
