Haven-1 is the pathfinder to building the factory and technology that allow us to mass-produce space station modules in-house, at an unprecedented low cost and high rate.

Hull 3, a Haven-1 qualification primary structure, is complete. We manufactured, inspected, and proof tested it in-house in Long Beach in five months, four months faster than Hull 2, the flight structure. Hull 4 is next, allowing us to further refine our process.

Our space stations and satellites use fluid systems to transport oxygen, water, coolant, and fuel. We manufacture, test, and integrate these systems in-house with the speed, precision, and scale required to build next-generation space infrastructure, starting with Haven-1.

Our food packaging, specialized utensils, and deployable table were designed with input from our Astronaut advisors, @astro_feustel and @astro_suni. The table can be easily disassembled and stowed away, while the packaging and utensils are made for practical use in microgravity.

.@vast is on a mission to replace the International Space Station, and we went to Long Beach, Calif. to check out its operations. The company is racing to get to space in 2027 with Haven-1, which will have room for four people. We saw its manufacturing operations, food labs, the whole Haven-1 design. It was an awesome trip! Full episode in the replies and on the Core Memory channel.
