About
Impulse Space’s Helios and Mira rideshare programs are designed to reduce costs and open up new orbital possibilities for small payloads. Helios specializes in same-day delivery to high-energy orbits, while Mira unlocks the potential for highly-maneuverable missions. These programs enable small payloads to share space, ushering in a new era of in-space operations. Mira can even ride as one of the Helios rideshare payloads, offering end-to-end rideshare services from LEO to MEO, GEO, and beyond. The services include cost-effective access, seamless off-the-shelf integration, customizable and combined missions, and rapid mobility. Caravan Rideshare Missions are starting in 2027, with Mira Rideshare flying since 2023.
