Last weekend at Black Rock (BALLS 34), I flew my (near)-hypersonic homebuilt experimental 54mm rocket to Mach 4.96 (5372 fps)! To my knowledge, this is the fastest single-stage rocket ever flown and fully recovered by any amateur, among other records in student rocketry.

@GoToImpulse announced a $308M extension to its Series D round yesterday—bringing the round’s total to $808M.
The company announced the first $500M in June, at a $4.26B valuation. New reports estimate that the valuation for the extension has risen to $5.4B.
“The extension reflects the demand we’re seeing from both our customers and investors, and the momentum across the business even in the last few weeks,” founder and CEO @lrocket told Payload via email.

Thank you to our customers and investors for supporting us, and all our Impulse employees for building an awesome company!
We've raised an additional $308M to continue expanding our team, products, and facilities as we accelerate humanity's future beyond Earth. This raise brings our combined Series D round to $808M, continuing a period of significant growth for our company.
We're scaling because our customers need more than just access to space, they need to be able to move dynamically once they're there. That's why we're building vehicles that can maneuver precisely, respond quickly, reach new destinations, and adapt on orbit.
We're excited to continue building a full spectrum of in-space mobility capabilities for the space industry.

Mira’s fourth trip to space is taking the upgraded spacecraft even further. 🛰️
LEO Express 4 is an Impulse-only mission designed to expand Mira’s flight heritage. The mission will test new maneuvers and operating conditions while validating upgrades across propulsion, avionics, and our in house star trackers.

Two Miras — less than 200 meters apart!
Our LEO Express 2 and LEO Express 3 spacecraft recently met for a family reunion in orbit, following a series of carefully coordinated maneuvers that brought the two vehicles within approximately two football fields of each other.
The operation put Mira's flight-proven agility to work, with our GNC, propulsion, and mission ops teams executing multiple complex maneuvers and close approaches along the way.
See how the team pulled it off: lnkd.in/g7kw7RR8

Six Mira's, one cleanroom.
Each Mira spacecraft is progressing through a different stage of assembly, integration, and test. Together, they reflect a production environment built to move multiple spacecraft through development in parallel.
The production line is growing, and so is the team behind it.

The C7R is back in its rightful home in the showroom. Now, just need to get the Porsche 962 Coke car back in its place.

Precise orbital deployment made simple with Mira: agile, flight-proven, and responsible for the two largest orbital maneuvers ever executed by a nitrous-based system.
