SpaceX and Vast plan more private crew missions to International Space Station

SpaceX is set to conduct more private crew missions to the International Space Station (ISS) in collaboration with the start-up Vast. These missions require NASA's approval and aim to enhance partnerships with global space agencies. Vast plans to launch its first commercial space station, Haven-1, next year, followed by a larger station, Haven-2. The company is also in talks with various governments for future missions. SpaceX has previously completed three private missions with Axiom Space and is preparing for a fourth. The ISS is expected to be decommissioned in 2030, prompting competition among companies to establish commercial space stations.
