General information

Vast builds commercial space stations, using an approach built around real hardware rather than lab testing alone. Its customers are government space agencies, including NASA and the European Space Agency, plus private researchers who need microgravity research. Haven-1 is its first station, set to launch in 2027 with room for 4 crew members, and Haven-2 is a larger, permanent station meant to replace the International Space Station. Haven Demo, an earlier test station, launched in November 2025. Vast is based in Long Beach, California. Historically, the median salary is ~$135,904.¹

Notes & sources

512 daily listing observations, Jun 7 to Oct 28 windowRechecked daily, last October 28, 2026

1. Company description. From Vast's own public material, shown only where we have it, never generated.
2. Weekly counts. A count is the number of listings the pipeline saw for the first time in that week. Weeks begin Monday; the onboarding week is excluded from the scale and every average.
3. Live counts. Deduplicated live listings observed daily on Vast's own hiring system; last check October 28, 2026. Stale and syndicated posts on aggregator sites are not counted.
4. Posted pay. Ranges extracted from the text of Vast's own listings; a range appears only when the employer printed one. Extraction is still rolling out, so this table can lag the board.
5. Federal visa records. USCIS H1B Employer Data Hub and US Department of Labor LCA disclosure files, matched to this company by name.
