[5] Vast later announced in January 2023 that it planned to relocate its corporate headquarters from El Segundo, California to a newly built 115,000 square-foot facility in Long Beach.

[10] Additionally, former Launcher operations such as the development of its E-2 engine and Orbiter payload host would be undertaken by Vast, with plans to start deploying them in the summer of 2023.

As a result, they elected to immediately deploy all the small sat payloads on board and then stated that Otter Pup's primary mission couldn't be accomplished.

[20][21] Shortly after the commencement of the SN3 mission, Vast received a Collaborations for Commercial Space Capabilities-2 (CCSC-2) agreement from NASA to help develop artificial gravity stations.

[24] On July 11, 2023, Vast announced that it had hired former NASA astronaut Garrett Reisman to advise the company on its commercial space station efforts.

[29][30][31] They announced a few days later that were seeking to bid for future ISS private astronaut missions, providing competition to Axiom Space, who dominates in that aspect.

[37] Originally meant to be used for Launcher's Light launch vehicle, the E-2 rocket engine was planned to be used alongside the Orbiter space tug and payload host.

[50] With the addition of the Dragon spacecraft, Haven-1 would be able to sustain 4-crew missions with 24/7 communication facilities, up to 1,000 watts of power, up to 150 kg of preloaded cargo mass, and science, research, and in-space manufacturing opportunities for up to 30 days.

[51] Haven-1 also plans to be able to offer a variety of amenities and facilities to paying customers, such as having a large window dome on board for photography and viewing, always-on internet through onboard Wi-Fi, resting rooms, and more.

Originally based in El Segundo, Vast relocated its corporate headquarters to a newly built, 115,000 sq ft (10,700 m2) facility in Long Beach, California.

[58] The facility hosts much of Vast's manufacturing and executive operations, with it being located in Long Beach's "Globemaster Corridor Specific Plan" in January 2023.
