Impulse lunar cargo lander
Built in-house by Impulse Space
Impulse Space is developing its lunar cargo lander in-house to ride the Helios kick stage from low Earth orbit (LEO) to low lunar orbit within one week, then separate and descend to the surface. Impulse estimates about 3 tons of cargo per mission and up to 6 tons a year across two missions starting in 2028, and has begun developing the lander's nitrous oxide and ethane engine.
