Vast, a next-generation space infrastructure company is launching a Lunar Programs division in a major strategic move for the company. Vast Lunar Programs will be dedicated to helping advance NASA’s vision for a permanently crewed Moon Base. Vast’s Haven-1, a commercial space station, that is likely to launch next year will be a key milestone for the company. Vast announced its new Lunar Programs division earlier this week.
By building upon the technologies, systems, and operational experience developed through the Haven‑1 program, Vast aims to develop a scalable path toward lunar infrastructure, scientific discovery, and long‑term human exploration. In the coming years, NASA plans to ramp up lunar activity, working with American industry to continuously deliver payloads to the lunar surface and to lunar orbit.
“Vast has the manufacturing capability, flight heritage, and technical expertise needed to help build humanity’s first lunar outpost. By vertically integrating the engineering, manufacturing, and testing of habitats and infrastructure, Vast can move with the speed, efficiency, and safety that this national imperative demands,” Max Haot, CEO, Vast, said in a statement.
