Vast Space
Space-station developer manufacturing Haven-1 almost entirely in-house at Long Beach (machining, welding, primary structure). Founder Jed McCaleb has committed roughly $1B personally; a $500M external round (Mar 2026) funds Haven production scale-up ahead of NASA's Commercial LEO Destinations competition. Included in manufacturing coverage for supply-chain mapping - it consumes spacecraft components at station scale.

METHODOLOGY
Launch history and subsystem outcomes aggregate from AstraVeris's launch_events table with Wilson 95% lower bounds on success rates. ARI scores come from the 11-factor composite (/finance/methodology/). Constellation counts derive from the live CelesTrak/GCAT object catalog. Gov contracts from USAspending.gov awards; private deals from deduplicated pipeline deal extraction. Absence of a row means "not tracked" — we never fabricate. See /methodology/ for the full data model and /data-licensing/ for licensing terms.
