Vast: Pioneering the Future of Space Infrastructure

Mission: Building the Foundation for Humanity’s Multi-Planetary Future

Vast is on a mission to democratize space infrastructure by developing the first artificial gravity space stations, enabling sustainable human habitation beyond Earth. Our measurable impact goals include:
- Launching the first commercial space station by 2025, reducing reliance on government-funded platforms.
- Achieving 100% reusable orbital infrastructure by 2030, cutting space debris and launch costs.
- Supporting 1,000+ researchers annually through microgravity labs, accelerating breakthroughs in medicine, materials science, and biotech.

With over 200 employees—including former SpaceX, Blue Origin, and NASA engineers—Vast is scaling rapidly, backed by $450M in funding and partnerships with industry leaders like SpaceX for launch services.

Recent Breakthroughs & Technological Leadership

Vast has achieved key milestones in space systems and orbital mechanics:
- Haven-1: The world’s first commercial space station, set for launch in 2025, featuring artificial gravity via rotation—solving long-term health risks for astronauts.
- Propulsion Innovation: Developed a high-efficiency electric propulsion system for station-keeping, reducing fuel consumption by 40%.
- Modular Design: Our spacecraft design allows for scalable expansion, supporting everything from tourism to deep-space missions.

Unique Value Proposition: Why Vast Stands Out

Unlike competitors focused solely on satellite constellations or earth observation, Vast is building permanent orbital infrastructure—a critical gap in the space economy. Our advantages include:
- Artificial Gravity: A game-changer for long-duration missions, addressing muscle atrophy and bone density loss.
- Cost Efficiency: Leveraging rocket engineering advancements to lower orbital construction costs.
- Dual-Use Architecture: Supporting both mission operations (NASA, ESA) and commercial ventures (tourism, manufacturing).

Addressing Industry Challenges

Vast is tackling pressing issues in space exploration:
- Space Debris Mitigation: Our stations include active debris removal systems.
- Sustainable Propulsion: Transitioning from chemical to electric propulsion systems for cleaner orbital operations.
- Scalable Space Habitats: Solving the bottleneck of limited orbital real estate.

For aerospace engineers, Vast offers unparalleled career opportunities—from satellite technology to spacecraft design—in a company shaping humanity’s future in space. Join us in building the next era of space infrastructure.
