Vast Acquires Rocket Engine Firm to Speed Development of Space Station With Artificial Gravity

The California company, through its acquisition of Launcher, is aiming to build a space station that's far bigger than the ISS.

Vast has not released many details about the station, except that the station’s artificial gravity will be generated with centrifugal force and that it will serve as a research platform and machine shop.

In Vast’s quest to build a space station complete with artificial gravity, the private space company has acquired startup Launcher in order to take a step toward making its plans a reality. Despite the news of the acquisition, both companies remain tightlipped on Vast’s plans for the space station.
