Impulse Space is an in-space transportation company developing orbital transfer vehicles (OTVs) designed to move payloads between and across different orbits quickly and affordably. The company focuses on "in-space mobility" to bridge the gap between initial launch and a satellite's final destination. 📌Credit: @GoToImpulse

This is why we need high g docking standards for daisy-chaining and landers.

Are there any plans to make your craft reusable?

I just watched your launch video! Very nice!

I think the topic is fascinating, the issue is the very low thrust and the initial injection burn. Under current thrust it could take months or even years just escape earth. I wonder if it needs to be initially pair with a chemical booster in orbit to perform the injection burn

Thats a nice launch vehicle you have

Honestly, working in simulation all day makes me skeptical of 'highways.' The real pain is being stuck in the wrong plane because your launcher optimized for their profile, not yours. Orbital mechanics doesn't negotiate. It bills by the m/s.

@lrocket Tell me about the company? Are they SpaceX competitors? How do I invest in them ?@grok

Tom Mueller Tom Mueller says he left SpaceX to start Impulse Space because after developing the Merlin engine and working on Starship for 6 years, he realized launch was essentially solved: "When I left, I had the plan of launch mostly being solved or is being solved. The next big opportunity is to move all that payload, all that cargo around in space." "So I started Impulse Space to do in-space transportation as opposed to from Earth to space transportation, which was SpaceX." Elon Musk

Elon really put into perspective just how insanely massive the Sun is compared to Earth The Sun contains ~99.86% of all the mass in the entire Solar System Earth is basically a rounding error We live on this tiny rock next to an object so massive that almost everything else in the Solar System barely registers And that giant ball of nuclear fusion is dumping an unimaginable amount of energy into space every second

For NASA’s next generation of deep space exploration missions, spacecraft may need to refuel in Earth orbit before pushing farther into the solar system. Engineers from #NASAMarshall and L3Harris are testing a technology vital for in-orbit refueling:

SpaceX is 10xing solar power in orbit every few years Here’s the progression for Starlink: • Gen 1 Starlink: ~3,000 satellites generating ~10 MW in orbit • Gen 2 Starlink: ~7,000 satellites generating ~100 MW • Gen 3 Starlink: expected to reach ~1,000 MW - 1 gigawatt of solar power in orbit Starlink was already revolutionary for global internet But the bigger story is that every new generation is also expanding SpaceX’s orbital power infrastructure • More satellites • More bandwidth • More solar power • More capability in orbit This matters because the future is not just satellites for internet It is satellites for communications, sensing, space data networks, and eventually orbital AI compute powered directly by solar SpaceX is not just building Starlink It is building the power and communications backbone for the next era of infrastructure in space

ELON MUSK: "The most obvious one is actually solar powered AI satellites, sort of to move the AI to orbit and essentially deep space over time, because there you can actually access over a billion times more energy from the sun in deep space than you can on Earth. The scaling to Kardashev, which is using some non trivial amount of energy from the sun. You kind of have to do space solar power. Like to even use a millionth of a percent of the sun's energy you you really have to be have your solar power in deep space."

Orbit is not space. Elon: “It is actually relatively easy to get to space, but it is very hard to get to orbit. This is easily a hundred times harder… maybe a thousand.” Burt Rutan’s SpaceShipOne reached the edge of space twice without scorching the paint. Returning from true orbit requires intense heat shielding or the vehicle is destroyed. That single energy gap is why orbital reusability remains the hardest engineering problem in rocketry and why Starship’s thermal protection system is non-negotiable.

SOLAR IS BY FAR THE BIGGEST SOURCE OF ENERGY Even on Earth, but certainly beyond Earth, the sun rounds up to 100% of all energy This is an important thing to consider. So the sun is 99.8% of the mass of the solar system. Jupiter is about 0.1%, and everything else is miscellaneous Now, even if you were to burn Jupiter in a thermonuclear reactor, the amount of energy produced by the sun would still round up to 100% If you teleported three more Jupiters into our solar system and burned three more Jupiters and everything else in the solar system, the sun's energy would still round up to 100% So it's really all about the sun H/t: X Freeze

CEO & CTO of Impulse Space Impulse Space Tom Mueller Tom Mueller says the Moon is "more important than Mars" in the near term: "Jared Isaacman said we're going to build a base on the Moon and stay there." "People are predicting we'll run out of copper in the next few years. Data centers require so much copper." "We need to start getting copper from the Moon or from the asteroids. There's an almost infinite supply in our solar system of material—enough to supply us for thousands of years." "We just gotta get ready to go get it."
