Impulse Space has opened a 20,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Louisville, Colorado, expanding its footprint in the state and strengthening the region’s growing space technology cluster.
The new site, located at 2000 S. Taylor Ave. in Boulder County, will focus on the development of guidance, navigation and control (GNC) systems for the company’s Mira and Helios spacecraft. These systems determine how the vehicles sense, orient and maneuver in orbit.
The expansion further reinforces east Boulder County and Broomfield as an emerging hub for space technology companies, alongside industry players such as Sierra Space and Ball Aerospace.
Impulse Space was founded in 2021 by Tom Mueller, the first employee at SpaceX. The company raised $300 million in Series C funding in 2025 to expand its orbital transportation capabilities.
The firm initially expanded into Colorado with a Boulder office in 2023. The newly opened Louisville facility represents a further step in building engineering and production capacity, and the company said it is actively hiring for roles at the site.
“With a responsible engineering mindset and deep technical focus, we’re closing the loop between development and mission execution in our Colorado facility,” said Eric Romo.
Romo added that the company is focused on solving a key operational challenge for satellite operators after launch.
“Getting to orbit is only part of the challenge,” he said. “Operators still need to move quickly, reliably, and affordably after the rocket drops them off.”
“At Impulse, we’re building the in-space mobility infrastructure that allows spacecraft to do this. The work our team is doing in Colorado is foundational to making that possible.”
