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:

Electra has high fuel efficiency to perform stationkeeping and long-duration maneuvers that preserve chemical propellant for the rapid maneuvers that define the Mira spacecraft. The result is greater operational flexibility and more mission capability from a single spacecraft. Next milestone: flight. 🚀 Electra will be demonstrated in space on the GEO Express 1 mission aboard Caravan 1.

Every mission needs the right engine. Meet Electra, Impulse's first electric thruster and the newest addition to our growing propulsion family. Designed, built, and tested in-house, Electra expands what's possible with Mira today while laying the foundation for future hybrid and fully electric spacecraft. Whatever the mission, Impulse is building the propulsion systems to power it. Read more. Link in the comments. ⬇️

Today we're celebrating our outstanding interns and the impact they're making across our teams in Redondo Beach, Colorado, and Mojave. Their hard work helps move meaningful projects forward every day. We're grateful for the energy and dedication they bring, and we're excited to be a part of their professional journey. Special thank you to our President & COO @_Eric_Romo for helping create opportunities for our interns to connect with executive leadership. Happy National Intern Day! 🎓🎉

57 years after humanity's first footprint on the Moon, we're entering a new era of space exploration. As @NASA works toward a permanent lunar presence, innovators, investors and policymakers are helping build the technology, infrastructure and capital needed to get there. At the @SpaceCapital Summit, Nasdaq was proud to host the leaders helping shape the future of the space economy. @FireflySpace, @LunarOutpostInc, @GoToImpulse

“I've been a rocket scientist since I was a kid. I just didn't know it." — Tom Mueller (@lrocket) Tom grew up in a timber town in northern Idaho, a place far removed from launch pads and propulsion labs. He fixed trucks, rode dirt bikes, and was exceptional at math. When his teacher noticed, he sat Tom down and sent him on his path to engineering. That day changed everything. Not just for Tom, but for the future of aerospace and now every member of our team at Impulse who gets to build what comes next. Tom talks rockets, race cars and the future of space with Trevor Smith. Watch for more.  

Helios has landed on our vertical test stand in Mojave! 🏜️ The vehicle that will deliver same-day transport from LEO to MEO, GEO, and beyond is one milestone closer to flight readiness. Want to build, test, and fly fast? We're hiring in Mojave! Visit our website to apply.

We’re excited to bring Helios to the US Space Force. The NSSL program has historically been built around launch providers. Today, we're proud to become the first-ever upper stage provider to serve as a prime. In combination with a standard medium-lift launch vehicle, Helios offers same-day delivery to MEO, GEO, and beyond, without the costs or infrequent launch cadences of a heavy-lift rocket. Same performance, better pricing and schedule. Congratulations to the Impulse team, whose hard work is pushing our mission forward to accelerate our future beyond Earth.

We’re proud to support the United States Space Force as part of the NSSL Phase 3 Lane 1 program. By on-ramping Helios, Impulse will be the first-ever upper stage provider to serve as a prime on the program. Read more here:

We hosted the @SES_Satellites Board at our Redondo Beach facility, sharing the latest progress on Helios and celebrating our partnership. Through our multi-launch agreement, Helios will transport SES satellites from LEO directly to GEO and MEO in a matter of hours. What used to require a multi-month electric propulsion transfer, or an expensive dedicated heavy-lift launch, Helios will make a same-day operation. Good to spend time with the team driving that shift forward with us. 🛰️

Can companies responsibly build a business model around Starship? .@_Eric_Romo, President & COO of @GoToImpulse doesn't think so. "Why would you (@SpaceX) sell a thing you don’t have enough of for yourself, at a bargain-basement price, to your competitors? The logic just doesn’t hold anywhere there. And it’s just sort of the wishful thinking of, “Well, because I want it,” that these companies say they’re going to get this at a low price. And the reality is, in the market, this is the same thing that happened with Falcon 9."

This week on Valley of Depth: @_Eric_Romo, President & COO of @GoToImpulse joins the show to discuss the past, present and future of the company. Impulse is building the next major infrastructure layer in space: moving payloads once they’re already in space (to GEO, the Moon, and other high-energy destinations). 00:34 – The journey to Impulse 09:02 – Is Musk focused on Mars or data centers now? 13:57 – Reuniting with Tom 19:35 – The vision of Impulse 21:20 – Impulse's product set & the pivot to GEO 38:32 – Mira, the most maneuverable spacecraft in orbit 40:24 – Why does the government care about maneuverable satellites? 41:40 – Competitors and how to win the maneuverability race 44:41 – How exposed are GEO assets today? 53:17 – How Starship will fundamentally change the industry 59:18 – The opportunity for SpaceX competitors 1:03:06 – If Starship solves orbital refueling, will they become a competitive concern for Impulse? 1:04:52 – The $500M fundraise 1:06:17 – Impulse's existing capital needs, future fundraising, and will they go public? 1:10:23 – Biggest source of internal debate 1:12:31 – Overrated and underrated space technologies 1:15:13 – What Eric would say to his 23-year-old self at SpaceX Full episode 👇

GEO is becoming one of the most important markets in space. On Valley of Death, Impulse President & COO Eric Romo shares: ➡️ Why demand has grown faster than expected ➡️ What that means for commercial, civil, and government missions ➡️ How Impulse is building to meet the moment Watch the full conversation:

We recently hosted @SpaceForceCSO Gen. Chance Saltzman and Mrs. Jennifer Saltzman alongside our partners from @GoToImpulse at HQ. The team demonstrated how Anduril is delivering speed and affordable mass to the next generation of space systems.

The Deneb engine continues to progress through its development campaign at our Mojave, CA test facility. Designed by Tom Mueller (@lrocket), Deneb is the 15,000lbf ox-rich staged combustion engine at the center of the Helios kick stage. Our development team is pushing Deneb toward flight readiness with high-cadence testing and rapid hardware iteration. Hardware rich development is at the heart of our company culture. Want to join the team that's making sh*t happen? We have open roles across propulsion design, test, and more. Apply now:
