Vast Aims for Orbit: Building the Future of Commercial Space Stations

Vast is advancing the next chapter in space exploration by developing a network of commercial space stations designed to serve as orbital hubs for research, industry, and human activity. The company's vision centers on creating modular, scalable platforms that can eventually replace the aging International Space Station. These stations aim to lower barriers to space access and support long-term missions beyond Earth’s orbit through innovative design and efficient manufacturing processes.

Based in Long Beach, California, Vast’s production facility serves as the core site for assembling its space station components. Inside, engineers and technicians work on precision-built modules using advanced materials and automated systems. This facility exemplifies the blend of cutting-edge technology and rigorous standards required to build reliable infrastructure for low Earth orbit. Through this effort, Vast seeks to establish a sustainable commercial presence in space, paving the way for future exploration and economic development.
