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.

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!

[Impulse Space @GoToImpulse]

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.
