Vast Space is planning to deploy its own outpost named Haven-1 in low Earth orbit in the second half of 2025. It will be a structure measuring 10 meters in length and 3 meters in diameter. The outpost will be delivered to orbit by a Falcon 9 rocket.

Shortly after its launch, the orbital station will be able to accommodate four space tourists for a month-long expedition called Vast-1.
