Vast also has a limited edition patch for its Haven Demo satellite: This limited edition embroidered patch commemorates the successful launch and deployment of Haven Demo, Vast's first spacecraft, on November 2, 2025. The vehicle was designed to test systems and technologies that will fly on Haven-1, the world's first commercial space station.  |

There is a patch now being sold on eBay that purports to also be for the Haven Demo mission. I asked Vast (via its shop) if the patch was authentic and was told: All official merchandise, patches included, will be found on our web store.  |

Interestingly (at least to me), the Haven Demo limited edition patch ships in its own sealed package nicely printed with its contents. It makes me wonder if its better to leave it sealed as a collectible.The Vast Haven patch comes without any packaging and there are no labels on the reverse.  |

First rule of collecting (of any type of item): never remove it from its original packaging. |

Suggestion: buy two; keep one unopened and one opened. |

I opened mine. The backing is Velcro, hence the protective packaging to prevent things getting stuck to the backing once it’s out of the package. |

I just ordered one Haven and two Demo patches. One to open and one to stay in the original package. Wish someone would have told me this with my early Star Wars figures back in my youth LOL. |
