Eric Romo asserts that the market for LEO-to-LEO "space tug" services has not materialized, with almost no completed commercial transactions.

Impulse Space has scheduled multiple Caravan rideshare flights to GEO for 2028.

Impulse Space is scaling production of its Mira product line to a rate of one unit per month.

Impulse Space's latest funding round was massively oversubscribed by its existing investors.

Impulse Space's recent funding round was led by 137 Ventures and Banner VC.

The GEO communications satellite market has been flat to declining over the past 10 years.

Tom Mueller was officially the first employee, with employee number 001, in the SpaceX payroll system.

In addition to SpaceX, 137 Ventures is a significant shareholder in Anduril and Brex.

137 Ventures is a large shareholder in SpaceX, owning more than 1% of the company.

Impulse Space's Helios vehicle offers direct-to-GEO transport in 8 hours at a lower cost than a Falcon Heavy launch.

The U.S. defense strategy for assets in MEO and GEO relies on maneuverable spacecraft that can rapidly reposition, rather than proliferation.

The Helios vehicle from Impulse Space is designed to transport payloads to their final orbit within 8 hours of launch.

Satellites performing an orbit-raising maneuver from GTO to GEO burn between $4 million and $6 million worth of propellant.

For its Caravan missions, Impulse Space purchases the Falcon 9 launch vehicle and has a free launch agreement with SpaceX.

SES and Astronis are customers of Impulse Space.

GEO communications satellites launched on a Falcon 9 to a transfer orbit typically take 6 to 10 months to reach their final operational position.

Impulse Space plans to conduct the first flight of its Helios vehicle in early 2025.

Following the first flight of its Mira vehicle, Impulse Space pivoted to focus on a high-thrust, high-delta-v business for the U.S. Space Force.

The product-market fit for the Impulse Space Mira vehicle is for high-speed military applications, analogous to a fighter jet, rather than a commercial "tugboat."

A key lesson from SpaceX's early days, now core to Impulse Space's strategy, is that rapid development requires insourcing manufacturing and building components in-house.
