This Company Wants to Build a Space Station That Has Artificial Gravity – Founded by crypto guru Jed McCaleb, Vast Space will run two missions to the International Space Station, and aims to launch its first space station, Haven-1, by the end of 2025.

>**California-based Vast Space** has big ambitions. The company is aiming to launch a commercial space station, the Haven-2, into low Earth orbit by 2028, which would allow astronauts to stay in space after the decommissioning of the [International Space Station](https://www.wired.com/tag/international-space-station/) (ISS) in 2030. In doing so, it is attempting to muscle in on [NASA’s](https://www.wired.com/tag/nasa/) plans to develop commercial low-orbit space stations with partner organizations—but most ambitious of all are Vast Space’s goals for what it will eventually put into space: a station that has its own artificial gravity.

>“We know that in weightlessness we can live a year or so, and in conditions that are not easy. Perhaps, however, lunar or Martian gravity is enough to live comfortably for a lifetime. The only way to find out is to build stations with artificial gravity, which is our long-term goal,” says Max Haot, Vast’s CEO.
