California -based Vast Space aims to launch a commercial space station into low Earth orbit by 2028 .

The company is attempting to muscle in on NASA ’s plans to develop commercial low-orbit space stations with partner organizations.

Vast has no contract with the US space agency, but it aims to outstrip its competitors by showing NASA that it can put a space station in space ahead of others.

Axiom has a contract with NASA for producing modules for the ISS .

The company plans to create its own commercial space station using these.

Haven-1 mission has already launched, and Haven-2 , the larger, modular second station will soon follow.

The station's core module will then be launched in 2030 , with the already launched modules attaching to it.
