Impulse's Mira spacecraft has successfully completed two missions since its 2023 launch, demonstrating significant mobility capabilities for payloads in space. While initially aimed at providing last-mile transportation for rideshare missions, the market viability for that service proved limited. Instead, the company is pivoting to focus on the spacecraft's applications in space defense, as it possesses high thrust and maneuverability for quick relocations. This shift in strategy has attracted interest from the Space Force, seeking rapid response options in geostationary orbit (GEO).
The reality is the market for last-mile services for rideshare missions isn't very good, leading us to refocus Mira's purpose toward space defense and rapid response capabilities.
It's a high-thrust, high-maneuverability spacecraft that can operate anywhere up to GEO, ideal for providing rapid response in defense scenarios and hosting specialized payloads.
