THE FIRST COMMERCIAL SPACE STATION, HAVEN-1, IS NOW UNDERGOING ASSEMBLY FOR LAUNCH

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The International Space Station is due to be decommissioned in less than five years, but NASA has yet to formally publish rules and requirements for a potential replacement. There are currently four main contenders for NASA's commercial space station program: Voyager Technologies, Axiom Space, Blue Origin, and Vast Space. NASA is expected to select one or two of these companies for contracts later this year. This article contains an interview with Vast's chief executive, Max Haot. Vast is currently building a smaller interim space station capable of short-duration stays called Haven-1.
