The Haven-1 project has an ambitious schedule, as its development and preparation for launch are planned to be completed in the second half of 2025. The Vast team includes experienced professionals, particularly former NASA astronaut Andrew Feistel, who provides advice on optimizing the module’s design.
“After three missions to space, we will use our experience to create a comfortable environment on the station. It is important to consider all aspects, from communications and private space to support crew work and scientific progress,” said Andrew Feistel.
Haven-1 is characterized by its minimalist design. Most of the equipment is hidden behind panels, and interior details such as fireproof elements made of maple veneer add coziness to an environment that is normally sterile.
The real issue here is the fact that humans don’t do will physically in space without gravity. This is why artificial gravity will be necessary.
