A six-minute E-2 test fire has been completed successfully as the team develops systems for E-2 Vacuum. This test demonstrated the propulsion system's ability to sustain a representative burn duration needed to raise spacecraft to higher energy orbits. The engine operated at nominal conditions, including the first 200 seconds at 102 bar chamber pressure while gimbaling.
Propellants: LOX/Kerosene
Thrust: 23k lbf (10.4 tf)
Isp Sea Level: 290 s
Isp Vacuum (SL nozzle): 327 s
Isp E-2 Vacuum: 365 s
Cycle: Ox-Rich Staged Combustion

We welcomed Program Manager Carlos García-Galán and Chief Architect Nujoud Merancy of the @NASAMoonBase program to our Long Beach HQ. We showcased capabilities we intend to leverage to support a permanent crewed presence on the lunar surface.

The Vast-PAM-1 crew @thom_astro, @astro_ales, and @astro_adrianos visited Vast HQ to kickoff their orientation, headed to @SpaceX for suit fittings, sampled crew food options at Vast and @NASA, and met some of the teams behind the mission.

Vast CEO @maxhaot joined a panel at @IAC2026Antalya to discuss Haven-1’s progress and the importance of commercial space stations to sustain a continuous human presence in low-Earth orbit after the ISS retires.

Vast and @esa are taking our cooperation to the next level. Ensuring a continued transatlantic partnership in the post-ISS commercial space station era is a top priority for Vast. @IAC2026Antalya. vast.news/4yg3zW8
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.

The statue of Prometheus is finally finished.
It was cast in Paris, crossed the Atlantic, and was assembled at Starbase. It took us 100 days to go from nothing to this.
People of the West, we have lived through an era devoid of dreams, devoid of destiny.
But the time has come to reclaim our dream of antiquity.
In a few months, we will start building a new city. It will be the most magnificent city in all of history.
After all, the great dream of the West has always been to rebuild Rome.
Come walk beside us in this endeavor. The world is waiting.

Vast Astronaut Advisor @Astro_Suni and Vast delegates recently attended the Bengaluru Space Expo in India, taking part in a panel with astronaut Angad Pratap to discuss the future of space exploration, science, and human spaceflight.
Important part of @vast’s long term strategy and ambition to contribute to NASA’s Moon Base.
We have established a Lunar Programs division.
By leveraging our commercial space station and satellite development capabilities, we are creating a scalable path toward lunar infrastructure to advance NASA’s vision for a permanent Moon Base. vast.news/4d1qWL9
Thank you, Prime Minister Mitsotakis @PrimeministerGR, for choosing Vast to fly @Astrovenator Adrianos Golemis, the first Greek citizen in space 🇬🇷, launching summer 2027 with @Thom_astro 🇫🇷 and @astro_ales 🇨🇿. Together with @esa, @NASA, @SpaceX and the Hellenic Space Center.

Συμμετείχα στην παρουσίαση του πληρώματος της αποστολής PAM-6 προς τον Διεθνή Διαστημικό Σταθμό, μέλος του οποίου θα είναι ο Αδριανός Γολέμης: ο πρώτος Έλληνας αστροναύτης που θα ταξιδέψει στο διάστημα! Είμαστε πολύ υπερήφανοι!
It was an honor to represent @Vast at the International Space Summit in Paris last week to announce further human spaceflight collaborations between America and Europe. Welcome to the mission Greece.
French President @emmanuelmacron and Greek Prime Minister @kmitsotakis announced @astrovenator will join Vast-PAM-1 astronauts @Thom_astro and @astro_ales. The mission is scheduled for 2027 to the @Space_Station in partnership with @NASA. vast.news/46NBolT

Καλημέρα, γαλαξιακοί πολίτες. 🚀🇬🇷
Καθίστε να ακούσετε γιατί πρωί πρωί είδα αυτό το βίντεο και έχω μείνει ΚΑΓΚΕΛΟ.
Δεν περίμενα ποτέ, μα ΠΟΤΕ, ότι θα έβλεπα Έλληνα πρωθυπουργό, σε μια χώρα όπως η Γαλλία, δίπλα στον Γάλλο πρωθυπουργό, να παρουσιάζει ΕΛΛΗΝΑ ΑΣΤΡΟΝΑΥΤΗ που θα συμμετέχει σε αποστολή στο διάστημα.
Επαναλαμβάνω για όσους δεν ξύπνησαν ακόμα:
ΕΛΛΗΝΑ. ΑΣΤΡΟΝΑΥΤΗ. 🇬🇷🚀
Είμαι τόσο μπερδεμένος, τόσο ερεθισμένος και τόσο jacked to the tits που έχω να σας πω μόνο ένα:
Αυτά κάνει ο ψηλός και θα σας αφανίσει από την πολιτική σκηνή.
Οι Υπόλοιποι....
Συνεχίστε με το τούβλο στη Θεσσαλονίκη και πηγαίνετε να του κάνετε ερωτήσεις μαζί με την αγγούρω που το παίζει εκπρόσωπος.
65%, μάγκες. Sorry, αλλά έτσι είναι.
Και τώρα σοβαρά:
Την ημέρα που ένας Έλληνας αστροναύτης θα μιλήσει ελληνικά από το διάστημα, έχετε καταλάβει τι εικόνα θα βλέπουν τα ελληνόπουλα;
Τι πρότυπο μπορεί να γίνει αυτό για ένα παιδί που σήμερα κοιτάζει τον ουρανό και ονειρεύεται;
Εγώ, που λατρεύω το διάστημα από μικρό παιδί, δεν περίμενα ποτέ ότι θα έβλεπα κάτι τέτοιο...ΠΟΤΕ
Όταν καταλάβεις επιτέλους, Έλληνα, ότι δεν είσαι κάτι τυχαίο, αλλά ένα τεράστιο asset για την παγκόσμια επιστήμη, τότε θα αλλάξουν πολλά.
Γιατί μέσα στον εγκέφαλό σου τρέχει ένα software χιλιάδων ετών: η ελληνική γλώσσα. Μια γλώσσα που έχει αφήσει τεράστιο αποτύπωμα στην επιστήμη, τη φιλοσοφία και τον τρόπο με τον οποίο περιγράφουμε τον κόσμο.
Σήκωσε λοιπόν λίγο το κεφάλι και κοίτα ψηλά.
Δεν ξέρω αν πρέπει να κλάψω, να γελάσω ή απλώς να κάτσω και να χαζεύω.
Ένα ξέρω:
I AM JACKED TO THE TITS BRO..
GREECE IS GOING TO SPACE..
CAPTAIN GOLEMIS......ENGAGE....
👨🚀🪐🚀🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷💦💦💦💦💦
