Impulse Space to adapt Helios kick stage into lunar lander, targets regular cargo deliveries by 2028

• Impulse is targeting regular commercial Moon deliveries as early as 2028 using a Helios-derived lander, adding a new option for medium-sized payload logistics to lunar surface and cis-lunar customers; the 2028 timeline is a concrete market-entry target.
• The move builds on the company’s recent success in offering regular GEO rideshare services and strong customer uptake, showing Impulse has operational experience scaling in-space transportation services (see its growth in GEO rideshare).
• Impulse already has government-focused activity — it is partnered to demonstrate autonomous rendezvous and proximity operations in GEO for the U.S. Space Force next year — signalling in-space maneuvering and mission-capable heritage that could be relevant to lunar logistics and national-security customers.
