Vast, a US space tech company, is aiming to revolutionize space travel with Haven-1, the first commercial orbiting space station. The ultimate luxury resort, the interior of the Haven-1 defies everything one might expect of an orbital laboratory.
A Luxurious Living Space
Inside Haven-1, there is a very human touch to the design of Vast. The interior, with its smooth wood veneer accents, plush padded walls, and high-end amenities, does give one a warm feeling of comfort. High-tech stuff cramps the whole gym. Private rooms come equipped with advanced entertainment and communications technology. The 1.1-meter-wide observation window dome promises to give just one spectacular view of Earth.
Key Features
Here are some of its key features:
- Patent-pending sleeping system: A solution for good rest in microgravity end.
- Onboard fitness system: For the health of the cardiovascular system and bones.
- Warm, inviting interiors made of natural materials: maple wood veneer, for example.
- Accommodates four astronauts: The cozy apartment room has plenty of storage, a vanity, and a queen-size bed.
A Human-First Approach
The first function is technically impressive yet starkly beautiful, redefining the possibilities of space living. Haven-1 truly represents the company’s interest in human-centered design. Every detail—from the decor inside to the services offered—is imbued with this interest.
Launch And Future Plans
Set to be launched using SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket in 2025, Haven-1 expects its first paying customers in 2026. Vast aspires to the future of everybody on Earth living and thriving in space, and this is a big step in that direction.
