Commemorating Haven Demo’s success.
We installed an aluminum plaque in our Mission Control Center to mark the success of Haven Demo. The plaque is made from the same material as our Haven-1 space station structure. We plan to celebrate our upcoming missions with similar plaques.
Our Vast Satellite was featured in @Via_Satellite, highlighting how we’re diversifying our products and building satellite buses with subsystems that were validated by the success of Haven Demo. https://t.co/GGBh0Sj4P2
Vast hosted @govuk leaders and local officials to commemorate an MOU signing that will foster collaboration for joint opportunities in STEM, the humanities, and industry partnerships in the U.K.
With our new satellite buses, we plan to offer an optional @nvidia Space-1 Vera Rubin Module that can support orbital data center inferencing needs, AI edge compute, advanced signal processing applications, and autonomous space operations. https://t.co/JdDMrLykb5
Vast is expanding into high-power satellites. Introducing our new line of high-power satellite buses that leverage the technologies we’ve developed in-house for our Haven-1 space station and validated with the success of our Haven Demo mission. https://t.co/aITDUjQOzF
Our CEO, @MaxHaot, joined @kevcirilli on the “Hello Future” podcast to discuss the future of the space industry and how Vast’s hardware-rich, vertically integrated approach is designed to enable a continuous human presence in low-Earth orbit. https://t.co/JkFq0nPrZA
The Vast Control Unit (VCU), our flight computer, is ready for testing in the semi-anechoic chamber at Vast HQ. These tests will confirm the VCU won't cause electromagnetic interference with other systems on Haven-1, scheduled to be the world’s first commercial space station.
