The race to replace the ageing International Space Station (ISS) is heating up after US company Vast announced a mission to fly an astronaut to its planned Haven-1 station next year. If the repeatedly delayed Haven-1 is launched into orbit as scheduled in early 2027, it will become history’s first commercial space station, beating out several competitors. It would also mark a post-ISS era for humanity’s presence in space, as the West seeks independence from Russian space operations due to the war in Ukraine. After a quarter of a century of continuous habitation, the ISS is scheduled to be deorbited in 2030. On Tuesday, Vast became the first aerospace company to announce a crewed mission to its future station. “This is an important milestone in a new era in crewed spaceflight that is less expensive — and less reliant on Russia,” Vast CEO Max Haot told AFP in an interview. ‘Attractive prices’ French astronaut Arnaud Prost “is joining us on the crew of the inaugural mission of what will be the world’s first operational commercial space station when it launches next year”, Haot said. On board Haven-1, Prost will be tasked with carrying out tests ahead of scientific experiments, which will be similar to those conducted on the ISS, he explained. The privately funded station will have a single module, compared to 16 currently on the ISS. During its three years in orbit, it will “host four two-week missions,” Haot said. Vast has bigger plans for its replacement. Haven-2 will eventually have nine modules, but the company plans to deploy them gradually over time. This will mean the modules cost “five to 10 times lower” than those for the ISS, which often exceeded a billion dollars, Haot said. “This will allow us to increase the number of crewed flights and offer more attractive prices to our customers,” he added. “We hope to launch three modules per year for our future station — and that at least one module will be launched by a European rocket.” The company aims to have four modules in space by 2030, which would support six-month missions on board. Other US aerospace companies also have plans to launch commercial space stations, including Axiom Space and Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin. The California-based Vast, which was founded in 2021 by cryptocurrency billionaire Jed McCaleb, acknowledges it entered the race late. But the company now claims to be two years ahead of its rivals, citing contracts with NASA. European HQ Also on Tuesday, Vast announced a mission to send French astronaut Thomas Pesquet to the ISS next year. The company also plans to open its European headquarters in Paris. For both new missions, Vast will use SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets and Dragon 2 capsule to get the astronauts into space. When asked about relying on billionaire Elon Musk’s company, Haot said SpaceX’s “unique” approach emphasised “speed and rocket reusability”. “It’s a model for everyone, and it’s the future of space,” he said. “If SpaceX had not succeeded in creating Dragon, Vast would not exist. And the United States and Europe would still be dependent on Russia to send humans into space.” Despite many international cooperation agreements falling apart after Moscow invaded Ukraine in 2022, the United States and other ISS partners have continued working with Russia on the space station.
The building at the center of the deadly explosion at Hanwha Aerospace's Daejeon facility handled large volumes of volatile solvents and materials for rocket propellants, according to safety reports Thursday. Reports submitted by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency to Rep. Cho Ji-yeon of the People Power Party show that Building No. 56 — the site of Monday's blast — used roughly 8.2 metric tons of cleaning solvents and 36 metric tons of propellants each month during the second half o
Hanwha Aerospace has temporarily shut down production at all of its major domestic facilities and launched safety inspections following a deadly explosion at its Daejeon plant that killed five workers earlier this week. Hanwha Aerospace said that all nonessential domestic production line operations would be suspended from Thursday to Friday, except for essential processes, to conduct special safety inspections and employee safety training. It marked the first time the defense affiliate under Han
NEW DELHI: India is likely to order more than $2 billion worth of military drones from domestic firms this year in its biggest such purchase, an industry body working with the government said, as global and regional conflicts boost demand. The plans are in advanced stages with deliveries expected over 18 to 24 months, for a jump in value from recent government orders worth 30 billion rupees ($313 million) for tactical-class drones, said Smit Shah, president of the body. “In the next phase, tactical drone procurements in India may exceed 200 billion rupees, or more than $2 billion,” said Shah, whose Drone Federation India represents more than 550 companies and works closely with the government. Shah said the new orders may follow a fast-track procurement route designed to meet urgent operational needs, with deliveries probably needed within 24 months. The country has 600 firms making drones, with more than 100 focused on defence applications Drones in spotlight India’s push follows clashes with arch-rival Pakistan in May last year, when both sides deployed unmanned aerial vehicles at scale for the first time, highlighting the offensive potential of low-cost drones. The conflicts in Ukraine and Iran have further sped adoption globally, driving down costs and reshaping battlefield tactics. In March, the defence ministry approved a proposal worth about 2.38 trillion rupees ($24.85 billion) to buy transport aircraft, missile systems and “remotely piloted strike aircraft”, or armed drones, without giving a spending breakdown. “Drones are force multipliers on the modern battlefield,” said Ramesh Chandra Padhi, an executive at IG Defence, a builder of advanced unmanned aerial and short-range missile systems. “The Indian army is following emergency or fast-track procurement to expedite the induction of drones on a very large scale,” the former senior army officer added. India’s exploding drone industry India has more than 600 firms making drones and components, with more than 100 focused on defence applications. The companies range from large players such as Adani Group, Larsen & Toubro and Tata Advanced Systems to startups like ideaForge, Newspace Research and Asteria Aerospace. They work on building reconnaissance, logistics, loitering munition, precision-strike and critical component systems. In recent years, India has overhauled a typically slow defence procurement process to allow faster acquisition of drones, particularly after clashes with Pakistan exposed gaps in surveillance and strike capabilities. New Delhi has started relying on emergency procurement powers and swifter efforts under the Defence Acquisition Procedure, compressing timelines to months instead of years. At the same time, in its push to boost domestic manufacturing, it is giving priority to systems made at home. The government has also expanded schemes such as Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX) to fund prototypes and enable smaller firms to win initial orders and help scale up production quicker.
