HyImpulse, founded in 2018 as a spin-off from the German Aerospace Center (DLR), is emerging as a trailblazer in the realm of space access. With its headquarters in Germany, the company focuses on developing small launchers utilizing disruptive technologies to offer low-cost small satellite launch opportunities.
In 2024, HyImpulse achieved a critical milestone with the successful maiden flight of the SR75 suborbital rocket. This success demonstrated the effectiveness of its hybrid propulsion technology, promising a new era in affordable and sustainable space access. Their product line includes the SR75 and the planned 2027 launch of the SL1 orbital small satellite launcher, as well as the HyMove orbital transfer vehicle for in-space mobility.
The company's recent capital injection was a substantial €15.00M from a diverse pool of investors, including Campus Founders, SME Equity Investment Company Baden-Württemberg, Technologický park Vienna Point, and Global Resilience Innovation Fund, among others. This support underscores the market confidence in HyImpulse's capability to make space more accessible through its commitment to safety, sustainability, and affordability.
