\"Impulse<\/p>\n

Impulse Space<\/strong>, a leader for in-space mobility, announced it has been awarded a $28M Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase III contract extension in support of two missions: VICTUS SALO 2 and VICTUS SALO 3. The award from the United States Space Force\u2019s (USSF) Space Systems Command (SSC) Space Safari Office builds on Impulse\u2019s existing contract supporting the upcoming VICTUS SALO 1 and VICTUS SURGO missions.<\/p>\n

Under the contract, Impulse will deliver two Mira spacecraft to SSC to host government-supplied payloads during missions in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). With its high thrust and precise maneuverability, Mira is a flight-proven platform to support tactically-responsive missions in space. It offers up to 850 m\/s of delta-v for a 100 kg payload via its eight Saiph thrusters, which are powered by a chemical propulsion system.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs space operations become increasingly complex, maneuverability on orbit is no longer a luxury, but a necessity,\u201d said Eric Romo<\/strong>, Impulse Space President and COO<\/strong>. \u201cMira\u2019s agile, high delta-v capabilities can support the United States Space Force\u2019s work to increase the tactical responsiveness of assets on orbit through these missions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The VICTUS SALO 2 and 3 missions will follow the VICTUS SALO 1 mission, currently slated to launch in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
