Heat. Pressure. Precision.
In the Impulse Weld Shop, raw material becomes mission hardware. Joints become thrust structures. Steel becomes spacecraft.
This is how in-space mobility is builtโone weld at a time.
By hand. By people. For orbit.
The Mira flying on our LEO Express 3 mission is undergoing exhaustive functional testing to validate each of its subsystems ahead of launch, including:
โ๏ธ Vacuumย
โ๏ธ Vibrationย
โ๏ธ Light to battery end-to-endย

Another milestone toward a fully assembled development tank. Built to carry over 13,000 kg of propellant, Helios is engineered for direct insertion to MEO, GEO, and beyond.
๐ During launch, forces from acceleration put serious stress on COPVs. To ensure reliability, we run "external loads" testing by pressurizing the tank & applying static loads of over 10,000 pounds with a hydraulic actuatorโvalidating the article can handle well beyond the harshest flight conditions.
