Impulse Space

Last week, Northwood CEO Bridgit Mendler joined other founders and leaders at a roundtable hosted by J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon at Impulse Space HQ. On the table for discussion: how do you actually build for national security and resilience? What are the opportunities? The challenges? Looking around the room, there's the surface level of what each company has in common, but also the less obvious. To build rockets, reactors, hypersonics, autonomy, and space networks is to take on massive problem sets across engineering, physics, and business with operational excellence. And then scale to meet critical needs in commercial and government missions. What keeps us up at night is: if we can't build this capacity fast enough to meet the shortages that exist — from the very bare bones of the hardware itself, building the antennas, the modems, the software rack, all of it ourselves — then there are use cases that are very significant both to national security interests and to space that are not going to be addressed. We're grateful to the JP Morgan team for hosting the exchange of ideas and collaboration. And to Impulse Space, Nominal, Mach Industries, Valar Atomics, Hermeus, Varda Space Industries, Castelion, Hadrian, Radiant, and Neros Technologies for the discussion and for pushing their domains further, faster.

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: https://lnkd.in/gcbiwwQK

After tenures at SpaceX and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Charlie Kelly got the call of a career — to come build an electric propulsion system from scratch under Tom Mueller. “I've been in my role at Impulse longer than any past role, and yet I feel like I’m just getting started. The reason I’ve thrived here and want to stay long term is the ownership — I have the permission to run with a project in the direction I want to take it, with a level of responsibility I am proud of.” If you're a high performer looking for real ownership, we'd love to meet you.

Built to take missions farther, faster. Helios is bringing same-day delivery to space.

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.

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! 🎓🎉

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. ⬇️

Happy Moon Day from all of us at Impulse! 🌙

“I've been a rocket scientist since I was a kid. I just didn't know it." — Tom Mueller 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.  https://lnkd.in/eQtJbhM3

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.
