Revel

Impulse Space is on a mission to accelerate humanity's future beyond Earth. To get there, they are building the spacecraft that will advance the orbital economy, and need to test as fast as they build. Before Revel, standing up a new test stand took 1–3 weeks, first-time deployments could take up to 3 months, software changes required looping in a specialist, and the team was locked into a single DAQ ecosystem. Now, stands are up in days, sometimes even hours. Engineers self-serve on sequence changes, the program runs multiple test fires per day instead of one every other day, and with the ability to mix and match hardware across vendor ecosystems, the team saves over 100x on hardware alone. Today, Revel runs across hundreds of Impulse assets — engine stands, vacuum chambers, avionics test stands, facility monitoring, and more — creating a single codebase that can be maintained and deployed consistently at scale. Thanks to Tom Mueller, Eric Romo, Dane Sarcone, Julia Vyborny, Trevor Hanken, and the rest of the Impulse Space team for the partnership. Read the full case study at
