Impulse Space and Vast will work closely to integrate the propulsion system as a key subsystem of Haven-1, scheduled to launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to low-Earth orbit in August 2025 and is expected to be the world\u2019s first commercial space station.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImpulse Space is excited to work with Vast on a project that will accelerate commercial activity in space,\u201d said Tom Mueller, Founder and CEO of Impulse Space. \u201cOur qualified Saiph thruster is a perfect fit for Haven-1\u2019s propulsion requirements. We look forward to collaborating with such a dedicated and like-minded team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Haven-1 propulsion system, designed and delivered by Impulse Space, will include Reaction Control System (RCS) thrusters to augment resident control moment gyros and deorbit thrusters for end-of-life operations. The Saiph thruster is already qualified and will, by the time Haven-1 launches, have significant flight heritage from multiple LEO missions starting in October 2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"fr-img-caption\" style=\"width: 563px;\"><span class=\"fr-img-wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.satnow.com\/news\/vast_3_638225264232292602.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"563\" class=\"imageload removeImageattr\" data-original=\"https:\/\/cdn.satnow.com\/news\/vast_3_638225264232292602.jpg\" style=\"\"><span class=\"fr-inner\">Impulse Space Saiph Thruster.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Haven-1 propulsion system will use a storable non-toxic propellant combination, nitrous oxide, and ethane, similar to other space vehicles developed by Impulse and Vast. The propulsion system will also consist of propellant tanks, Saiph thrusters, fluid lines, valves, sensors, control electronics, and control software.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To support our goal to launch Haven-1 in just over two years and become the world\u2019s first commercial space station, we decided to partner on multiple subsystems to increase the likelihood of meeting our timeline with full mission success,\u201d said Jed McCaleb, founder, and CEO of Vast. \u201cWe are thrilled that Tom and his team at Impulse Space agreed to provide their Saiph-based propulsion system for Haven-1.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After launch, Haven-1 will serve as an independent crewed space station with four crewed missions planned before connecting as a module to a larger Vast space station currently in development. Following the launch of Haven-1, Vast-1, the first crewed mission to Haven-1 via a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, will dock with Haven-1 for 30 days while orbiting the Earth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jS_afVESUwI?&amp;wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"fr-draggable\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vast, a pioneer in space habitation technologies, announced that it has selected Impulse Space, a leader in the development of in-space logistics services, to provide its Haven-1 Space Station propulsion system.
