Impulse Space builds high-thrust orbital transfer vehicles that shorten LEO-to-GEO delivery times from months to hours, filling a clear gap in the growing space logistics sector. It has engineered a proprietary propulsion stack around chemical engines Saiph, Rigel, and Deneb, which are designed for fast, green, and modular operations. These engines power the Mira and Helios vehicles, which carry payloads from low-cost launch drop-offs to final orbits at record speed. With over thirty commercial, defense, and civil contracts secured and more than $500 million in funding, Impulse has gained early validation for its differentiated approach to rapid, last-mile delivery in space.
