Last week @GoToImpulse completed our second employee tender offer. The first was last fall, and we were fortunate that our partners at @137ventures supported us again this year. A tender gives employees an opportunity to sell some of their vested shares – to benefit from the value that they’ve created in Impulse. This opportunity is a testament to our commercial and technical progress, and the result of our team's hard work. Our goal, “To accelerate our future beyond earth” is not small. Our work is not easy. But our strategy to accomplish it is straightforward: 1)      Hire great people 2)      Give them ambitious goals 3)      Stay the hell out of their way I’m so glad those great people had a chance to benefit. Now who else wants to come build cool sh 🚀 t?

Rinse and repeat. Another oxygen tank came together for the Helios flight vehicle at our Redondo Beach HQ. With 300,000 square feet of production, we're scaling Helios to meet market demand for satellites needing to reach GEO. 🛰️

We're over 24 hours into the mission, and LEO Express 4 continues to operate nominally. Following separation from Falcon 9, we’ve begun receiving initial data from Mira. The vehicle is healthy, and the team is now moving through commissioning and checkout procedures ahead of planned on-orbit maneuvers. Follow along for more updates from LEO Express 4:

10 months from mission inception to launch readiness. 🛰️ Our Launch Operations Team has completed final preparations for Mira at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and delivered the spacecraft for integration with Falcon 9 ahead of @SpaceX's Bandwagon-5 rideshare mission, manifested through @Exolaunch . That pace is made possible by teams across Impulse, from Propulsion and Avionics to Vehicle Engineering, Manufacturing, and Assembly, Integration & Test. Learn more about LEO Express 4:

Impulse Space Awarded $28M for Future Space Force SDA Mission 🚀 “Mira has proven its capability and reliability as a hosting platform through multiple commercial missions in LEO, providing a dependable foundation for a wide range of operational needs,” said Eric Romo, Impulse Space President and COO. “Mira’s demonstrated ability to perform both long-duration and rapid engine burns have underscored the mission flexibility that maneuverability creates. We look forward to supporting the Space Force with these proven capabilities.” Read the full story:

"To continue hiring at all levels of the company, and to continue to build out our facilities here to get ready for a higher production rate..." Watch @lrocket talk talent and ring the @tbpn gong for our Series D Extension Full episode, Tom joins @ 2:06:00:

Following our $808M Series D extension, Tom Mueller (@lrocket) joined Edward Ludlow (@EdLudlow) to talk about the growth behind the round and where we’re putting that capital to work. Huge thanks to the @Bloomberg team for having us! Watch the full video:

“Impulse Space’s Series D round grows to $808M as backlog expands” $308M more behind the people, products, and manufacturing bringing in-space mobility to more missions. 🚀 Read the @Reuters exclusive:

We've raised an additional $308M to continue expanding our team, products, and facilities as we accelerate humanity's future beyond Earth. This raise brings our combined Series D round to $808M, continuing a period of significant growth for our company. We're scaling because our customers need more than just access to space, they need to be able to move dynamically once they're there. That's why we're building vehicles that can maneuver precisely, respond quickly, reach new destinations, and adapt on orbit. We're excited to continue building a full spectrum of in-space mobility capabilities for the space industry. Read the full announcement:

Mira’s fourth trip to space is taking the upgraded spacecraft even further. 🛰️ LEO Express 4 is an Impulse-only mission designed to expand Mira’s flight heritage. The mission will test new maneuvers and operating conditions while validating upgrades across propulsion, avionics, and our in house star trackers. Learn more about LEO Express 4:

Your summer project could end up in space. 🚀 Summer 2027 internship applications are now open! We’re looking for exceptional students across propulsion, avionics, software, manufacturing, and more to work alongside teams building and flying our spacecraft. Apply:

Two Miras — less than 200 meters apart! Our LEO Express 2 and LEO Express 3 spacecraft recently met for a family reunion in orbit, following a series of carefully coordinated maneuvers that brought the two vehicles within approximately two football fields of each other. The operation put Mira's flight-proven agility to work, with our GNC, propulsion, and mission ops teams executing multiple complex maneuvers and close approaches along the way.

Six Mira's, one cleanroom. Each Mira spacecraft is progressing through a different stage of assembly, integration, and test. Together, they reflect a production environment built to move multiple spacecraft through development in parallel. The production line is growing, and so is the team behind it.

Adaptability or performance? Hardware test teams shouldn’t have to choose. After switching to Revel, the team at @GoToImpulse can easily make changes to test sequences while maintaining type safety, compiled performance, and real-time control. Trevor Hanken, Manager for Test Automation at Impulse Space, shares how Revel lets teams move quickly without sacrificing performance.

Impulse has been selected by Space Systems Command to support additional VICTUS SALO missions, building on our work to demonstrate responsive maneuverability on orbit. “As space operations become increasingly complex, maneuverability on orbit is no longer a luxury, but a necessity,” - @_Eric_Romo, President & COO Read more:
