In addition to space stations, Vast says it will now build high-power satellites

Here's something that might surprise you — Vast Space is now jumping into high-power satellites, not just space stations. After successfully testing its Haven-1 spacecraft, which handled power, propulsion, and tracking, the company proved it can deliver reliable spaceflight capabilities. According to Eric Berger writing in Ars Technica, this test mission went so well that Vast is confident enough to start selling its satellite buses. And here’s where it gets interesting — CEO Max Haot points out that diversification is key for space companies; they don’t bet everything on just one product. So, instead of only building space stations, Vast is now positioning itself as a satellite provider as well. This move isn’t just a side project — it’s a strategic step to build resilience and open new revenue streams. And get this — Vast’s shift shows how space firms are realizing that adaptability and product variety are what will keep them ahead in this fast-evolving industry. If this pattern holds, next year’s winners will be the ones who diversify early and often.
