As I understand, at least one version of the plans for a manned station
show the station as a manned pod surrounded by a string of unmanned
platforms.  I think what you are asking for is a prototype platform.

Maybe a corporation can be convinced to buy an empty LEO module, fit some
hinged struts on it and lease out space for instruments and experiments to
be mounted by the shuttle crew?
