LEO Express 4 is the fourth flight for Mira, Impulse's highly agile spacecraft. We unveiled an upgraded Mira spacecraft on LEO Express 3; this mission will further validate its systems and capabilities. This will be an Impulse-only mission, with no customer payloads onboard, that puts the spacecraft fully through its paces ahead of future flights, testing across a range of new maneuvers and operating conditions.
Flying in a mid-inclination path in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), LEO Express 4 will expand Mira's flight heritage while proving out the vehicle's responsiveness and maneuverability in space. Delivered less than a year after the prior mission's launch, LEO Express 4 also showcases Impulse's ability to quickly ramp production while maintaining the highest level of quality, with multiple Mira vehicles in production at our Redondo Beach facility.
Mission Objectives include:
LEO Express 4 continues to build on Mira's flight-proven capabilities to support a wide range of customer missions.
