Expanding Tactically Responsive Space Capabilities With New Maneuverable Spacecraft
The U.S. Space Force has awarded a $28 million contract modification to Impulse Space to provide two more maneuverable spacecraft for tactically responsive space missions. The new vehicles, Victus Salo 2 and Victus Salo 3, will use Impulse’s Mira spacecraft to host government-provided payloads in low Earth orbit. The contract is part of the Space Force’s broader Tactically Responsive Space effort, which aims to shorten the time needed to deploy and operate spacecraft. The award increases the total contract value to $62.8 million, as reported by SpaceNews.
