From VAST CEO Max Haot (via X):
Excited to show that we are building the world's first commercial space station VAST Haven-1!
This month we completed our VAST Haven-1 primary structure pathfinder which proved we could build in house all the critical geometries, transitions, and interfaces of Haven-1. Next up — building the primary structure qualification article which will undergo pressure and load tests.

The Haven-1 primary structure qualification article has arrived at our Mojave, CA test site. The team is now conducting lift operations to install the article on the test stand.

The Haven-1 flight article has been painted. Next, key components including the hatch and domed window will be integrated ahead of pressure and load testing in Mojave, California.
