WASHINGTON — Impulse Space has purchased three Falcon 9 launches for its Helios transfer vehicle for missions starting in 2026, including one for the Space Force.

Impulse Space announced Nov. 14 that it signed a contract with SpaceX for the Falcon 9 launches. Each launch will carry the company’s Helios transfer vehicle, a high-energy kick stage the company introduced in January to transport payloads quickly between orbits.

The first launch, planned for mid-2026, will be the first flight of Helios. The transfer vehicle will transport the company’s smaller Mira vehicle, carrying a commercial optical payload, from low Earth orbit to geostationary transfer orbit on the Victus Surgo mission for the Space Force and Defense Innovation Unit. Impulse Space received a $34.5 million contract for Victus Surgo and another mission, Victus Salo, Oct. 3. Impulse Space said the schedule and payloads for the other two Helios launches will be determined later.

To many small-business owners, AI still seems like something out of a sci-fi film—abstract, intimidating and not applicable to their lives. While there are many AI business tools available on the market today, most tools aren’t accessible or intuitive enough for the average small-business owner.

In theory, AI can help some SMBs with marketing, product adjustments, bookkeeping, decision-making and more. However, these tools are based on global data found on the web and are blind to business-specific data. Therefore, they don’t take important parameters like the small business’s location, industry and size into account.

To harness the true potential of AI and obtain truly valuable insights, AI systems need detailed information about the business history and future goals of the SMB. This tailored approach ensures that AI tools are not just functional but are strategic assets that contribute meaningfully to business growth and decision-making.
