    A pioneering private space technology company is planning to build a private successor to the International Space Station which is set to shut down in 2030.
    And US company Vast has announced what will be the world’s first microgravity research, development, and manufacturing platform on a commercial space station.
    The planned International Space Station successor the Haven-1 is set to launch no earlier than the second half of 2025.
    On board will be the Have-1 Lab, a hub for companies, governments, and other entities to collaborate on science, research, and in-space manufacturing.
    Haven-1 will sit in low Earth orbit’s and offer onboard facilities for research and development in healthcare and pharmaceuticals, advanced material manufacturing, biotechnology, scientific experiments, and more.
    It will feature 11 payload slots, each roughly the size of a microwave.
    Each payload slot can weigh up to 30 kg and is provided with 100 W of continuous power with access to Ethernet data connection.
    Payloads will be operated by the astronaut crew on Haven-1, as well as commanded and monitored by ground operators using billionaire Elon Musk’s Starlink laser links

    A pioneering private space technology company is planning to build a private successor to the International Space Station which is set to shut down in 2030.
    And US company Vast has announced what will be the world’s first microgravity research, development, and manufacturing platform on a commercial space station.
    The planned International Space Station successor the Haven-1 is set to launch no earlier than the second half of 2025.
    On board will be the Have-1 Lab, a hub for companies, governments, and other entities to collaborate on science, research, and in-space manufacturing.
    Haven-1 will sit in low Earth orbit’s and offer onboard facilities for research and development in healthcare and pharmaceuticals, advanced material manufacturing, biotechnology, scientific experiments, and more.
    It will feature 11 payload slots, each roughly the size of a microwave.
    Each payload slot can weigh up to 30 kg and is provided with 100 W of continuous power with access to Ethernet data connection.
    Payloads will be operated by the astronaut crew on Haven-1, as well as commanded and monitored by ground operators using billionaire Elon Musk’s Starlink laser links

    Humans could live on the Moon and Mars in giant inflatable habitats which are cheap to transport and deploy.

    The expandable space bases are compressed to fit inside rockets.

    The habitats would be inflated when in orbit and become a space station.

    Potential customers range from pharmaceutical companies to commercial space stations, or even movie studios looking to film in orbit.

    Further into the future the expendables would be set up as living accommodation on the lunar or Martian surfaces.

    US startup Max Space is looking to launch the habitats into Earth's orbit on board an Elon Musk SpaceX rocket.

    The bases are a cheaper alternative to traditional module designs being considered as space habitats which consist of small modules connected to each other.

    Larger variants could be sent into space after the initial inflatable space bases are launched - as there is said to be no theoretical limit to the modules' scalability.

    Max Space co-founder Aaron Kemmer said: "My dream is to have a city on the Moon before I die.”
