REDONDO BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Impulse Space, a leader in the development of in-space transportation services, has been selected by the Space Development Agency (SDA) as one of 19 companies to join the initial Hybrid Acquisition for Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (HALO) vendor pool. This selection reflects Impulse's commitment to delivering innovative space solutions and positions the company to compete for upcoming prototype demonstration orders.
The HALO program is an acquisition approach designed to support future tranches of the PWSA. As part of this effort, Impulse will have the opportunity to participate in end-to-end mission demonstrations, including the launch of satellites within 12-18 months after any award. These demonstrations will focus on reducing risk and showcasing the feasibility of proliferation for tactical data links and optical communications.
