Impulse Space has been selected by the National Reconnaissance Office’s (NRO) Office of Space Launch (OSL) as a recipient of a BALISTA (Broad Agency Announcements for Agile Launch Innovation and Strategic Technology Advancement) contract — this award is part of a strategic initiative to assess and evaluate advanced space technologies aimed at addressing technology needs of interest for the NRO.
This award continues Impulse’s track record of securing strategic partnerships and government contracts, building on prior successes such as the STRATFI award and SBIR Phase III contracts with the United States Space Force.
The contract will allow the NRO to assess and evaluate advanced space technologies in areas such as launch, on-orbit support, and command and control.“Being selected for the BALISTA contract is an opportunity for Impulse Space to demonstrate how enhanced in-space maneuverability and mobility can expand mission capabilities,” said Impulse Space COO and President Eric Romo. “We’re pleased to bring our in-space transportation expertise to this effort, supporting the NRO’s mission.”
