Impulse Space builds orbital vehicles that move satellites between orbits, host payloads in space, and reposition or deorbit assets.
Impulse Space sells in-space mobility through its Mira orbital service vehicle, the high-energy Helios kick stage, and Caravan rideshare and hosted payload services. Mira handles last mile delivery and hosted payloads in low Earth orbit, while Helios moves payloads to medium, geostationary, and cislunar destinations.
Caravan packages launch, integration, and on-orbit delivery for commercial and government payload owners on shared missions. Together the three lines let customers buy a hosted slot, a dedicated transfer, or a full rideshare mission without operating their own spacecraft.

Demand for in-space mobility is growing as rideshare launches leave satellites short of their operational orbits and governments seek responsive repositioning. Commercial constellations, hosted payload buyers, and defense programs all need last mile delivery, orbit changes, and deorbit services that launch vehicles alone do not provide.
Impulse Space is positioned for that demand with Mira for low Earth orbit work, Helios for high-energy transfers, and Caravan rideshare packaging. Its NSSL Lane 1 and Space Force innovation awards signal that government buyers already treat commercial orbital transfer as a funded mission category.

Impulse Space pairs flight-proven hardware with founder Tom Mueller propulsion heritage from SpaceX and TRW, giving it credibility with commercial and national security customers. Its Mira vehicle has flown on LEO Express missions while Helios targets high-energy orbits that few commercial kick stages serve.
The company couples that technical position with more than one billion dollars raised and selection as an NSSL Lane 1 upper stage prime. That capital and government endorsement let it scale manufacturing and bid for responsive in-space mobility missions that smaller rivals cannot fund.
