Vast recently opened its first office in Houston, Texas. The office is located near NASA’s Johnson Space Center, one of the primary hubs for human spaceflight activities, including astronaut training, mission control operations, and elements of research integration and International Space Station program leadership conducted across multiple NASA centers.
Vast’s Houston office hosts a highly-experienced team including Vast Principal Scientist and former International Space Station (ISS) Program Deputy Chief Scientist, Meghan Everett. The Houston office will support a variety of Vast initiatives and efforts such as mission requirements for the sixth private astronaut mission awarded to Vast earlier this year, engagement with NASA’s Commercial Low Earth Orbit Destinations program, and other human exploration programs including lunar.
Houston local and Vast Lead Astronaut Drew Feustel shared a few words on the significance of the office and Vast’s continued commitment to building next-generation space stations that will help ensure America and its allies’ enduring presence in space.

About Vast
Vast is developing next-generation space stations to ensure a continuous human presence in space for America and its allies, enabling advanced microgravity research and manufacturing, and unlocking a new space economy for government, corporate, and private customers. Using an incremental, hardware-rich and low-cost approach, Vast is rapidly developing its multi-module Haven Station. Haven Demo’s 2025 success made Vast the only operational commercial space station company to fly and operate its own spacecraft. Next, Haven-1 is expected to become the world’s first commercial space station when it launches in 2027, followed by additional Haven modules to enable permanent human presence by 2030.
With more than 1,000 employees at its Long Beach, California headquarters and over a billion dollars in private capital invested, Vast has built the facilities required to manufacture and operate America’s next space station. The company plans to develop future habitats for the Moon and Mars, dedicated space stations for government partners, and other crewed systems that will unlock the expanding long-term space economy.
