Impulse Space Secures Series B Funding Round to Further In-Space…

Phillip Sarofim and the Trousdale Ventures team are pleased to announce the global venture capital firm's participation in the Series B funding round for pioneering in-space transportation services company Impulse Space. Led by a team that delivered the most reliable rockets in history, Impulse provides economical and efficient in-space transportation by reliably and rapidly getting customers where they want to go.

Founded in 2021 by Tom Mueller, Impulse Space is opening access beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO) with its fleet of in-space transportation vehicles. The flight-proven Mira vehicle uses a nontoxic, high-impulse chemical propulsion system to offer orbital transport, constellation deployment, and precision reentry services to customers from LEO to geosynchronous orbit (GEO). The high-energy Helios vehicle unlocks orbits beyond LEO with its powerful Deneb engine, dropping off payloads in Medium Earth Orbit, GEO, heliocentric, lunar, and other planetary orbits.

The Series B funding continues strong momentum for Impulse and will be used to further grow the Impulse team and to support the ongoing production of both the Helios and Mira vehicles. This year alone, the company has been selected by SpaceWERX for a Strategic Funding Increase award, two Small Business Innovation Research Program awards, announced a new GEO Rideshare Program, and completed the record-setting LEO Express-1 mission. The team is currently preparing for the upcoming launch of the LEO Express-2 mission, which will see a Mira vehicle support deployment and hosting services for multiple customers.

With its mission of accelerating humanity's future in space through efficient transportation to any destination, Impulse Space and Trousdale Ventures are in perfect alignment - striving to transform industries and forge a future where innovation knows no bounds.
