Haven-1 Lab

Enabling innovation in microgravity

The Haven-1 Lab is the world’s first microgravity research, development, and manufacturing platform on a commercial space station.

Full ISS EXPRESS Rack Capacity

10 Middeck Locker Equivalent (MLE) payload slots available for research, tech demonstration, and manufacturing in microgravity with 100 W of continuous power per slot.

Payload operations

The system is operated by the Haven-1 astronaut crew and can be remotely commanded and monitored via Starlink's gigabit-speed Internet.

Product return

Deliver and return products and samples from space via SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.

Partner network

Vast's partners represent some of the foremost experts in the microgravity environment, harnessing Vast’s flexible schedule and commercial operation.

Yuri Science Taxi

Yuri’s ScienceTaxi can accommodate up to 38 experiment units, known as ScienceShells, and will provide scientists with a powerful tool for studying the effects of microgravity on various biological systems, enabling a wide range of experiments to be conducted in the Haven-1 Lab.

Redwire ADSEP4

Redwire’s Advanced Space Experiment Processor 4 (ADSEP4) is a fully automated, multi-use processing facility used to conduct a variety of life and physical science research and small-batch biotechnology production in microgravity, with a capacity of up to four sample processing cassettes for pharmaceutical research and manufacturing.
