<p>"Astronauts living in zero gravity pose unique design challenges. Creating an environment that is both highly efficient and naturally comforting leads to totally new results. Haven-1 interiors are unprecedented, precisely engineered and sensitively designed to ensure its occupants thrive in space," said Peter Russell-Clarke, a world-renowned designer who worked on Haven-1. He has previously designed some of the most iconic products for Apple.</p>

<p>The team also includes&nbsp;the veteran NASA astronaut Andrew Feustel, who has over 23 years of experience and has been in space for over 225 days on the International Space Station (ISS). Feustel played an important role in advising the design team while developing the interiors.</p>

<p>“I’ve flown three missions to space, and we are learning from those experiences and innovating to improve the way we can live and work on a space station. From communication and connectivity, to private space and interacting with others aboard, to advancing human progress on Earth and beyond, every detail has been designed with the astronaut experience at the core of our work,” said Feustel.</p>
