Vast commends @NASA for proceeding with a CLD procurement strategy to achieve an enduring American LEO presence while providing a clear opportunity for commercial providers. We value the structure, which requires companies to continue to compete on merit (hardware, technology, design progress) during the contract to earn additional NASA task orders. Vast supports the overall approach and appreciates the process NASA has established for taking feedback.

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding, Vast is dedicated to building the next space station for America and the world.
Eight wet trash containers will be inside Haven-1 to support the crew during their mission.
