Anduril Industries and Impulse Space have formed a joint venture to develop a demonstration satellite aimed at rendezvous and proximity operations in geostationary orbit. This initiative, self-funded by the partners, seeks to enhance U.S. space defense capabilities, especially in light of China's advancements in satellite maneuver technology.

Impulse Space's Mira spacecraft, equipped with the Helios kick stage and Deneb engine, promises rapid satellite transfers. The collaboration also emphasizes commercial applications, with partnerships to expedite broadband services and innovative orbital transport solutions.
