NASA and Vast are teaming up so that the aerospace company can send four private astronauts to the ISS in 2027 following a launch in Cape Canaveral.

Officials have directed the space agency to pause funds for a host of science missions the White House originally pushed to cancel in its 2026 budget request, according to a letter sent to the agency’s centers from NASA headquarters and obtained by POLITICO.
