Kalifornijska kompanija Vast potpisala je sporazum sa NASA koji omogućava da četvoro privatnih astronauta poseti ISS na do 14 dana, najranije u leto 2027. Lansiranje za tu misiju obezbediće SpaceX koristeći Falcon 9 i kapsulu Dragon. Vast planira da iskustva sa ISS iskoristi za razvoj svoje modularne stanice Haven, sa prvim modulom Haven‑1 planiranim za 2027. godinu.
Vast Potpisao Sporazum Sa NASA — Četvoro Privatnih Astronauta Na ISS Najranije Leta 2027
This company just inked 1st NASA deal to send astronauts to the ISS
Kalifornijska aero-svemirska kompanija Vast potpisala je sporazum sa NASA koji otvara put da četvoro privatnih astronauta, nevezanih za državne svemirske agencije, boravi na Međunarodnoj svemirskoj stanici (ISS) do 14 dana. Planirani let je najranije tokom leta 2027, a lansiranje će obezbediti SpaceX.
Šta je dogovoreno?
Prema objavi iz februara, Vast će poslati tim od četiri privatna astronauta na boravak na ISS do dve nedelje. NASA i međunarodni partneri moraju odobriti izabrane članove posade, koji će zatim proći obavezne pripreme i trening uz NASA i SpaceX.
Kako će se lansirati?
SpaceX će obezbediti lansiranje sa Floride koristeći kombinaciju Falcon 9 rakete i Dragon kapsule — trenutačno jedinu američku letelicu koja redovno prevozi ljude do ISS. Sličan model korišćen je i za prethodne komercijalne posade koje je poslala kompanija Axiom Space.
O kompaniji Vast i budući planovi
Vast, osnovan 2021. godine i sa sedištem u Long Beachu (Kalifornija), razvija sopstvenu seriju komercijalnih modulnih stanica pod nazivom Haven Station. Prvi modul, Haven-1, planiran je za lansiranje 2027. godine. Kompanija vidi misiju na ISS kao priliku za sticanje iskustva i testiranje procedura pred sopstvene buduće posade i module.
„Korišćenje preostalog životnog veka svemirske stanice kroz naučno i istraživački vođene komercijalne posade misije ključan je deo tranzicije ka komercijalnim svemirskim stanicama i potpunoj otključanosti orbitalne ekonomije,“ izjavio je Max Haot, izvršni direktor kompanije Vast.
Kontext i prethodne misije
NASA je već podržala privatne misije kroz partnerstva sa Axiom Space; Axiom je organizovao četiri privatne misije do ISS od 2022. godine, a planira i petu za januar 2027. Pored toga, kroz komercijalne aranžmane, SpaceX je postao glavni provajder lansiranja za ovakve posade.
Ko je trenutno na ISS?
Na ISS su trenutno članovi ekspedicije koji uključuju posade prethodnih lansiranja. Među poslednjim pristiglim su članovi misije Crew-12 — NASA astronautkinja Jessica Meir i Jack Hathaway, astronautkinja Evropske svemirske agencije Sophie Adenot i ruski kosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev — koji su stigli 14. februara i planiraju boravak od oko devet meseci. Takođe, na stanici su i astronaut Chris Williams te kosmonauti Sergey Mikaev i Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, koji su stigli krajem novembra na Soyuz MS-28.
Zašto je ovo važno?
Ova vrsta partnerstva pokazuje kako se tranzicija u niskoj Zemljinoj orbiti pomera iz isključivo vladinog domena ka komercijalnom ekosistemu. Privatne posade omogućavaju razvoj novih usluga, istraživanja i komercijalnih kapaciteta koji bi trebalo da podrže buduće komercijalne svemirske stanice i širu orbitalnu ekonomiju.

Firefly's Blue Ghost lunar lander captures its shadow on the moon's surface after completing a successful landing March 2 near a volcanic feature on the moon called Mons Latreille. The vehicle became the first of two landers manufactured by a U.S. company to reach the moon is 2025 in crucial missions to lay the groundwork for NASA to return humans to the lunar surface in the years ahead.
Athena, the lunar lander on Intuitive Machines' IM-2 mission, captured this image of the moon's surface with Earth seen in the distance ahead of a March 6 landing attempt. While the lander was the second U.S. vehicle to reach the moon within a week, it ultimately landed on its side, which hindered much of its mission.
NASA astronaut Suni Williams is helped out of a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft March 18 following a return to Earth after a nine-month stay at the International Space Station. She and NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore crewed the Boeing Starliner, which had launched in June 2024 on a failed test flight that was meant to return them to Earth a few days later.
Butch Wilmore reacts after he and Suni Williams and two other astronauts splashed down March 18 in a Crew Dragon space capsule following their return to earth from the International Space Station off the coast of Florida. The astronauts' extended stay at the orbital outpost dominated the news cycle for months.

Pop musician Katy Perry emerges April 14 from Blue Origin's New Shepard capsule in West Texas following a brief flight to the edge of space. Perry was part of an all-women crew that also included broadcast journalist Gayle King that took the ride from Blue Origin's facility called Launch Site One. The high-profile launch attracted plenty of headlines and even drew some backlash from those who viewed the mission as a wasteful publicity stunt.
