Impulse Space plans to launch a lunar lander by 2028 to fill a market gap for mid-sized cargo deliveries to the Moon.
The company will use its Helios kick stage to transport payloads between 0.5 and 13 tons, including rovers and power generators.
Founder Tom Mueller noted that current options do not meet this weight range.
The lander will detach from Helios in low lunar orbit and descend to the Moon's surface, pending industry demand.
