Vast targets first commercial space station to supersede the ISS

Vast announced a crewed mission to Haven-1, set to launch in early 2027, aiming to become the first commercial space station and a cheaper successor to the ISS; Haven-1 will be a single-module platform hosting four two-week missions over three years, with Haven-2 planned to expand to nine modules by 2030, at roughly five-to-ten times lower cost than the ISS, using SpaceX Falcon 9/Dragon 2 and featuring French astronaut Arnaud Prost on the inaugural flight.

Putin Sets 2027 Deadline for Russian Space Station Launch

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the first segment of the new Russian orbital space station, intended to replace the International Space Station (ISS), should be in orbit by 2027. Despite recent setbacks, Putin emphasized the need to avoid any gaps in space exploration and called for timely progress. The Russian space industry has faced funding problems, corruption scandals, and setbacks, including the crash of the Luna-25 module on the moon's surface. Putin pledged to continue funding lunar missions and urged the resolution of low salary issues in the space industry, as well as the involvement of foreign specialists and increased private business participation. The ISS, a symbol of international cooperation, is expected to continue operating until 2030, according to NASA.
