VAST proposed 4 person private Space station called Haven-1.

financed by billionaire Jed McCaleb

Targeted to launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 no earlier than August 2025.

It then plans to launch a 4 person crew on SpaceX Crew Dragon Vast-1 mission also in 2025.

And a second mission, Vast-2, which would fly in 2026

The Haven-1 station is intended to operate on its own initially, but will eventually become one module in a larger Vast station when it connects up with others launched later.

In 2028 VAST hope to develop a STARSHIP-CLASS MODULE to oneday include Artificial gravity capability.

McCaleb is investing $300 million of his own money into the effort, he acknowledges the overall project will likely cost him more than $300 million.

McCaleb said Vast will have an advantage because it can leverage the life support systems already developed for SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, which the company plans to use to carry passengers to its space station.

Vast will equip its Haven-1 space station with the necessary consumables — such as oxygen and other life-sustaining materials — but the company won’t have to develop a life support system from scratch due to its support from SpaceX. SpaceX will also be providing the spacesuits.
