Introducing Deneb, a powerhouse hydrocarbon engine designed for unmatched performance. Deneb's ox-rich staged combustion cycle combined with a high area ratio expansion nozzle will deliver 15,000 pounds of thrust — setting it up to be one of the highest-performing liquid oxygen/liquid methane engines ever flown, per its creator, Thomas Mueller. Designed for reliability and manufactured with a lean, scalable approach, Deneb is built with our proprietary, in-house components, from precision valves to advanced turbomachinery. Impulse is now nearing the first test of our development engine. This engine will power Helios, our solution for delivering payloads from LEO to GEO in under a day — no more waiting months with electric propulsion. Pair Helios with a low-cost LEO launch, and you’ve got the fastest, most economical way to reach high-energy orbits and the inner solar system.

We’re changing the game with Exolaunch. 🛰️ Proud to partner and deliver fast, reliable deployments — anywhere our customers need to go.
Before heading to orbit on Impulse Space’s Mira OTV, the Impulse team snapped these last looks as our EXOpod Nova was prepped for liftoff. Fast forward to now? The first-ever satellites deployed via Nova on an OTV = mission success. Together with Impulse, we’re redefining satellite deployment—and we’re just getting started: https://lnkd.in/gRAfymt7

Fast, reliable, and mission-ready. 🚀 Thank you, HEO, for flying aboard Mira! A quick ride to orbit and a fast start — proof of how efficiently we get our partners operational. Looking forward to what’s next.
Let there be light. You’re looking at Holmes-007’s first image, taken aboard Impulse Space’s Mira just weeks after launch. Taken over Slovenia, this calibration shot is our first confirmation that Holmes’ optics are performing as expected in orbit. Before we begin imaging satellites, we will conduct further test observations, including stars and the Moon, to refine our calibration. This is step one. The best is yet to come. Stay tuned.

Two for two — both CubeSats successfully deployed! 🛰️✅ Following last week's burn, Mira deployed FOSSA Systems' IoT CubeSat, FOSSASat TAT-0. Developed entirely in-house, the FOSSA team quickly established contact, completed commissioning, and confirmed stable operations. Now with Mira feeling a bit lighter, we turn our focus to upcoming hosted payload operations. 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gzXmVcuk #LEOExpress2

Impulse Space reposted this
I’ll be participating in a fireside chat at #SmallSatSymposium 2025 on Feb. 5. Looking forward to talking about Impulse Space and how we’re building an efficient and affordable future of in-space transportation. https://lnkd.in/gW3CWTCY

This vehicle makes frequent maneuvers. We burned, we beaconed, we delta-V completed. ✅ Mira executed a smooth check-out burn with controlled thruster pulsing to steer the spacecraft — seen here from both sides of the vehicle. https://lnkd.in/gzXmVcuk #LEOExpress2

Blink and you’ll miss it: one smooth CubeSat deploy. 🛰️ Mira has successfully completed the orbital insertion of Bluebon, a 6U-XL CubeSat from SatRev, as part of RIDE! space’s Deep Blue Mission. Mira’s mission isn’t over yet — more maneuvers are on the horizon. Stay tuned. https://lnkd.in/gzXmVcuk #LEOExpress2

🚀 LEO Express-2 is officially underway! Mira has successfully launched on its second mission aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-12 rideshare mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base. Following deployment, we have successfully received initial data from Mira, verified nominal operation of our attitude control system, and are continuing to work through commissioning steps. Go Mira! Stay tuned for mission milestones, updates, and images as Mira’s journey unfolds: https://lnkd.in/gzXmVcuk #LEOExpress2 #ImpulseSpace
