Exciting insights into the future of space exploration! While in Washington, DC, our founder and CEO, Thomas Mueller, sat down with Chairman of Defense Appropriations Ken Calvert and Founders Fund Partner Delian Asparouhov at The Hill & Valley Forum. From the current state of the “new space age 2.0” to the critical role of government and commercial collaboration in national security, Tom and Ken covered a spectrum of topics.    Curious about the future of space exploration (the Moon, Mars, and beyond)? Who are the key players in the space race? Why space matters to military and civilian life? Check out the full conversation to learn more: https://lnkd.in/dZqxueNt

We are proud to announce that NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration has selected us to conduct an early-stage study that supports lower-cost, higher-frequency missions to #Mars. “We’re in an exciting new era of space exploration, with rapid growth of commercial interest and capabilities,” said Eric Ianson, Director of NASA’s Mars Exploration Program. “Now is the right time for NASA to begin looking at how public-private partnerships could support science at Mars in the coming decades.” Through the study, we'll explore adapting our orbital transfer vehicle's payload hosting and delivery capabilities to advance science on the Red Planet. Read the NASA press release here: https://lnkd.in/dBZNNWpt

It's been 1 month since #SATShow 2024 ended, but you can still catch up on the sessions! Click here to watch the Keynote Fireside Chat with Tom Mueller, CEO of Impulse Space and Founding Member of SpaceX: https://lnkd.in/eVARS78m

After four months navigating orbit, #Mira — our first orbital transfer vehicle — has successfully completed all of its primary mission objectives!   We celebrated the final milestone on Thursday with our eighth and most significant burn: 75 seconds in duration, achieving a 150 km apogee raise. We think this is the largest single maneuver to date by a nitrous-based propulsion system and the largest orbit raise by any #OTV on its debut mission. The ability to change an orbit by hundreds of kilometers within minutes demonstrates the type of rapid maneuvering capability Impulse wants to bring to the industry. Mira's time in orbit isn't over yet — we are continuing to test and fly, prepping for our next mission launching later this year.   All of this underscores the exceptional capabilities of the team we're building. If you'd like to join it, check our careers page (https://lnkd.in/ek4UudhE), or if you're attending the #SpaceSymposium next week, talk with one of the team in person: Margaret Abernathy, Jeff Rowlison, Joshua Rea, Gary Li, or Patrick Gearhart. #GoMira

📸: Day and night shots of Mira and its Saiph thrusters in Earth eclipse. The night image, captured last Tuesday, shows our seventh burn, where all eight thrusters fired for ~60 seconds. They imparted 34 m/s delta-v, performed a plane change, and lowered Mira's orbit by ~30 km.

Come see our CEO, Thomas Mueller, talk next Thursday morning at #Satellite2024. Details 👉 March 21, 9:45 to 10:15 am at the Via Satellite Exhibit Hall Theater, SATELLITE Conference & Exhibition, covering: 🚀 What makes Impulse Space unique 🔥 Why the space industry is hot right now 💡 How his experiences at SpaceX benefit current endeavors ➡️ What the next chapter looks like for Impulse Space And if you're wandering the floor, say hi to the team @ Booth 908! https://lnkd.in/eYUAd5ZX

The latest shoot! Space-exploration startup Impulse Space commissioned us to create imagery highlighting their work, culture, hardware and unique processes. First image: an engineer installing components on a satellite in a clean room. Impulse is the brainchild of Tom Mueller, one of the founders of SpaceX. Such a great team to work with. Thanks, Kelly Vasquez! More coming next week! Shot with the Leica S3.
