Vast has signed an agreement with NASA to test its Haven-1 space station at an agency facility ahead of its launch next year.

Vast announced April 3 that it signed an agreement with NASA to conduct environmental testing of Haven-1 at the Neil Armstrong Test Facility in Ohio. That center, formerly known as Plum Brook Station, features facilities for thermal vacuum, acoustics, vibration and other tests.

The tests at Armstrong are scheduled to begin in early 2026, verifying the spacecraft can handle launch and in-space environments. Haven-1 is scheduled to launch no earlier than May 2026.
