Ibadan, 11 October 2024. –Vast has unveiled the interior design features aboard Haven-1, its commercial space station. Vast’s inaugural station combines the functionality of its state-of-the-art facilities for scientific research, technological advancement, and global collaboration in low-Earth orbit (LEO) with its dedication to sophisticated and human-centric design.

Reflecting Vast’s commitment to prioritizing the well-being and experience of its astronauts and its vision for making space accessible to all, Haven-1 will launch in 2025 with a specific focus on ensuring form and function merge to provide greater comfort and quality of life for long-term missions. The interior design is warm and welcoming, while the exterior extends this design element by introducing a key new exterior element: a centralized window, allowing astronauts to experience a full view of Earth.

Hillary Coe, Vast’s Chief Design and Marketing Officer highlighted “We have big ambitions to create a future where everyone is living and thriving on Earth and in space — and this, of course, requires a shift in how we approach design for all backgrounds and comfort levels. We are bridging the gap to solve for a truly human-first experience down to the material level. Together, we are moving beyond necessity to innovation, balancing comfort with functionality and committing to a future where we can all truly thrive at home aboard a commercial space station.”

Haven-1 will also feature genuine safety-tested, fire-resistant maple wood veneer slats, bringing natural warmth into what has traditionally been a sterile, necessity-driven interior design for common gathering spaces aboard stations. This modern take on modular living and working on stations consequently aims to provide a calm and grounding framework, increasing functionality while improving daily well-being.
