Haven-1 is a planned single-module space station in low Earth
orbit that is currently being developed by Vast. Haven-1 is planned to act as
an independent crewed space station. The station is planned to be brought to
space no earlier than May 2026 aboard a Falcon 9. Vast then plans to have a
crew of four launch aboard a Crew Dragon spacecraft on the Vast-1 mission for
about fourteen days as early as June 2026. Vast plans to have three or four
such missions visit Haven-1 with several months between each. The total amount
of time onboard the station will be limited by consumables, much of which will
have to be launched along with the station.
The planned dimensions of the
station are 3.8 m in diameter and 10.1 m in height. It will weigh approximately
14,000 kg and accommodate up to four people.
The station plans to have
logistics on board to facilitate docking with the Dragon spacecraft, with it
being able to extend the on-orbit duration of spaceflight missions to up to 30
days. With the addition of the Dragon spacecraft, Haven-1 would be able to
sustain 4-crew missions with 24/7 communication facilities, up to 1,000 watts
of power, up to 150 kg of preloaded cargo mass, and science, research, and
in-space manufacturing opportunities for up to 30 days. Haven-1 also plans to
be able to offer a variety of amenities and facilities to paying customers,
such as having a large window dome on board for photography and viewing,
always-on internet through onboard Wi-Fi, resting rooms, and more.
