Commercial space stations are LEO ISS-replacement platforms not cislunar orbital nodes with no commercial entity planning a Gateway-equivalent waystation

Haven-1 is explicitly positioned as a LEO ISS-replacement platform for research and tourism with no cislunar operations or routing capability planned. The station will operate in LEO for a three-year lifespan hosting up to four crew missions of 30 days each. This confirms that commercial stations are targeting the ISS succession market (LEO operations, microgravity research, tourism) rather than building the cislunar orbital node infrastructure that Gateway was intended to provide. No commercial entity has announced plans for a cislunar waystation. This means the three-tier architecture (LEO → cislunar node → surface) envisioned in earlier space development roadmaps is not being restored commercially—the middle tier remains absent. The commercial sector is converging on a two-tier surface-first architecture (LEO → direct lunar surface) rather than rebuilding the orbital node layer.
