You can now own an artifact from Vast's Haven space station testbed

Last fall, a company working to develop a commercial space station sent a satellite into orbit to verify the technologies it needs to operate its inaugural module. Now, Vast is selling the pieces left over from its Haven Demo mission, continuing an aerospace industry tradition.

The Haven Demo testbed ran through 49 objectives, from generating continuous power using a deployed solar array to putting the systems needed to run a space station through their paces, including communications; guidance, navigation and control; cameras; and thermal regulation.
