About Impulse Space

Impulse Space is a Redondo Beach, California company building in-space mobility spacecraft and propulsion so payloads can move quickly and affordably after launch. Founded by SpaceX veteran Tom Mueller and led with President and COO Eric Romo, Impulse’s fleet includes flight-proven Mira for precision maneuvering and rendezvous/proximity operations, Helios high-energy kick stage aimed at first flight in 2027, and Caravan rideshare access to higher-energy orbits, plus propulsion lines Saiph, Deneb and Rigel. The company has flown multiple missions, cites hundreds of millions of dollars in customer contracts, and operates facilities in Redondo Beach, Boulder, Washington D.C. and Mojave. In June 2026 Impulse raised a $500 million Series D co-led by 137 Ventures and BANNER VC with Founders Fund, Lux Capital and Linse Capital; in September 2026 it announced a $308 million Series D extension, bringing the Series D to $808 million as backlog grew.
