The Haven-1 space station is a groundbreaking achievement in commercial space travel, brought to life by the innovative space tech company, Vast. With a vision to create a new era of luxury space travel, Vast has designed Haven-1 to defy traditional expectations of orbital laboratories. The space station's inception was guided by the expertise of veteran NASA astronaut, Andrew Feustel, who has spent over 225 days in space. Feustel's insights played a critical role in shaping the interior design, prioritizing comfort and functionality.

Haven-1 boasts a sleek and sophisticated design, reminiscent of a high-end hotel. The space station features a state-of-the-art gym, private rooms with advanced entertainment and communication technology, and a 1.1m Observation Window Dome offering breathtaking views of Earth. The interior design incorporates natural materials, such as maple wood veneer, to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The space station's technology is equally impressive, with a patent-pending sleep system designed to optimize rest in zero gravity and an onboard fitness system to improve cardiovascular and bone health.

Set to launch on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket in August 2025 or later, Haven-1 is poised to revolutionize the space travel experience. The space station can accommodate four astronauts in cozy rooms, each equipped with storage, vanity, and a specially designed queen-sized bed. With its human-centric design and cutting-edge technology, Haven-1 is an unparalleled achievement in commercial space travel. As Vast's Chief Design and Marketing Officer, Hillary Coe, emphasizes, "We have big ambitions to create a future where everyone is living and thriving on Earth and in space." With Haven-1, that future is now within reach, with the first paying customers expected to board in 2026.
