SpaceX’s first flight test of Starship and Super Heavy provided valuable lessons. Despite issues like propellant leaks and control problems, SpaceX is implementing improvements, including leak fixes, enhanced fire suppression, and system upgrades. This iterative development approach, common in SpaceX’s history, drives innovation. SpaceX is committed to building a reusable launch system for diverse missions and destinations.
Vast and SpaceX have joined forces to launch Vast Haven-1, what’s expected to be the world’s first commercial space station. Slated for Falcon 9 rocket launch in August 2025, Haven-1 will serve as an independent space station and a module for a larger Vast space station in development. Two human spaceflight missions, starting with Vast-1, will dock with Haven-1 for up to 30 days. Crew selection is ongoing, and SpaceX will provide training and simulations for these missions. Vast’s broader goal includes a 100-meter-long spinning artificial gravity space station, aiming to enhance accessibility to space and pave the way for humanity’s multiplanetary future.
