Haven-1 is a planned space station in low Earth orbit that is in development by American aerospace company Vast. It is planned to be launched in the first quarter of 2027 atop a SpaceX Falcon 9, and will be the first ever commercial space station. The first mission to Haven-1, Vast-1, is expected to launch a crew of four astronauts on board a Crew Dragon spacecraft to the space station for thirty days. More launches are expected to occur using Crew Dragon to shuttle astronauts to and from Haven-1 over the course of its lifespan. With 45 m3 (1,600 ft3) of habitable volume, the station will be unable to sustain itself over a long period of time and will rely on the Crew Dragon for long-term missions by using its life support systems. Using Dragon, the station will be capable of sustaining 4-crew missions with 24/7 communication facilities, up to 1,000 watts of power, up to 150 kg (330 lb) of preloaded cargo mass, and science, research, and in-space manufacturing opportunities for up to 30 days at a time. The crews aboard the station will also conduct experiments in an attempt to mimic lunar gravity.
