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.

Like making fire?🔥
Our propulsion engineers are designing, building, and testing the engines and components that power our spacecraft. From rapid design iterations to flight-proven hardware, the team has the ownership to turn complex engineering challenges into real capability.
At Impulse, your work doesn't stop at the test stand, it makes it to space.

Two missions. Two @SpaceNews_Inc Icon Award finalist honors. 🏆
Impulse was selected as a finalist for the Commercial Space Achievement category alongside @StarfishSpace for the Remora RPO mission. Starfish software autonomously controlled our LEO-2 Mira through a series of maneuvers, bringing it within approximately 1,250 meters of our LEO-1 Mira on orbit. See the mission in action in the video below!
We are also finalists in the Military Space Achievement category for our contract with the USSF for a future Space Force space domain awareness mission. Mira will host a government-furnished optical payload built by MIT Lincoln Laboratory to support SDA for objects located in GEO.
Mira is putting maneuverability at the center of what’s possible in orbit. Congrats to our crew behind the work. Two well-earned honors for the missions we’re bringing to life. 👏
Full list of finalists in the comments.

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.

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.
