About HyImpulse
Our Vision
HyImpulse aims to make access to space and in-orbit mobility economically and environmentally sustainable and lower the barriers for everyone to use the Low-Earth-Orbit as the industry zone of the 21st century.
Our Mission
HyImpulse's mission is to open access to space by delivering affordable, reliable launch and in-space services. Powered by our safe, low-cost paraffin-based hybrid propulsion, we enable customers to reach any low-Earth orbit and eliminate barriers such as high costs, long waits, and limited availability. By combining launch, satellite-as-a-service, and space-data-as-a-service, HyImpulse is committed to democratizing space and empowering broader use of space-based capabilities.
