Haven-1’s 15 composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) hold thruster propellant, breathing oxygen, and cabin pressure gas. The orange patches on the propellant tanks are Kapton heaters for in-orbit mass gauging and deorbit. Next up: integration on Haven-1.

Thank you Josef. We value the growing relationship between @esa and @vast. Finding a path to continue the transatlantic partnership into the post-ISS commercial space station era is a top priority for Vast.
The International Space Station stands as one of the greatest examples of international cooperation of our time. As Europe looks ahead to the next chapter of human spaceflight, we are exploring a range of options to maintain and strengthen our presence in Low Earth Orbit. Our cooperation with @vast marks an important step in this work, helping us assess future opportunities for European astronauts, research and technology in orbit.
