After proving its spacecraft in orbit, Impulse is rapidly expanding its team and production to build the in-space mobility infrastructure that will accelerate humanity's future beyond Earth. REDONDO BEACH, Calif., June 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Impulse Space, the in-space mobility leader, today announced it has raised $500 million in Series D funding. The round was co-led by 137 Ventures and BANNER VC, bringing the company's total capital raised to over $1 billion. The funding will support hiring and manufacturing growth as the company scales its effort to build in-space mobility infrastructure: the vehicles, propulsion systems, and operational architecture that determine where and how spacecraft move after launch. With three missions flown and hundreds of millions of dollars in customer contracts, Impulse is growing to meet surging demand for in-space mobility across commercial, civil, and government sectors. Unlocking Mobility Beyond Launch Over the past decade, launch has become more accessible and frequent. But once in orbit, spacecraft have remained constrained in their ability to move. Historically, spacecraft have been locked into a single orbit following launch or faced with slow, expensive transfers. In order to accelerate humanity's future beyond Earth, unlock a robust space economy, and realize a true space age, a new layer of orbital infrastructure must be developed: spacecraft that are purpose-built for in-space mobility. Impulse is designing, building, testing, and flying those spacecraft. Advanced in-space mobility – the ability to move quickly, precisely, responsively, and affordably after launch – is a required capability for the next phase of the space economy. It allows spacecraft to be placed, repositioned or re-tasked, and operated with unprecedented flexibility. And with that, it transforms how missions are designed and unlocks new opportunities across commercial, civil, and government missions – both in and well beyond Earth's immediate orbits. "We're building more than spacecraft: we're building the economic and technical engine that will power humanity's expansion into space," said Tom Mueller, ... Full story available on Benzinga.com

The European Parliament committee just voted in favour of the legislation to remove duties on many US goods and imports, essentially steering clear of another clash with the US on trade - such as the one last year. As a reminder, US president Trump set a deadline of 4 July for the EU to sort this out or risk incurring a further butting of heads on trade/tariffs once again. With the passing of the vote here, we are at least seeing the EU avoid another trade conflict with the US. And that's good news especially at a time when the fallout from the Middle East conflict is set to dampen the economy significantly in the coming months. Just a note though that the legislation above still needs to be approved by the full EU assembly. That is expected some time around mid-June but it should just be a mere formality.
