Vast, a company specialising in space habitation technologies, has partnered with Impulse Space to provide propulsion systems for the Haven-1 Space Station. The two companies will work together to install the subsystem to Haven-1, which is scheduled to be launched into low-Earth orbit using a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in August 2025. The Haven-1 propulsion system will feature Reaction Control System thrusters to enhance the control moment gyros onboard and deorbit thrusters for the station’s end-of-life operations. The propulsion system will also employ a non-toxic propellant combination of nitrous oxide and ethane, developed by both Impulse Space and Vast. Following its launch, Haven-1 will function as an independent crewed space station.
