When Liftero, a Polish company specializing in propulsion systems, approached Impulso for an upcoming satellite launch, they needed more than just logistics support, they needed a mission partner. With a tight schedule, last-minute updates, and evolving hardware requirements, flexibility and responsiveness were key.
Impulso stepped in with a comprehensive, end-to-end solution, handling propellant sourcing, providing a dedicated fueling space, coordinating transport and insurance, and offering hands-on support throughout every stage of the mission.
Liftero’s RED5 IOD mission, which used their own BOOSTER propulsion system for satellites, required a full-service campaign with several constraints:
A short-notice timeline with fluid arrival dates and unpredictable updates
Sensitive fueling operations involving hazardous materials
Urgent procurement of specific equipment during the campaign
Operational flexibility in both scheduling and staffing
They needed a ground support partner capable of responding quickly, adjusting on the fly, and ensuring mission-critical activities went off without a hitch.
Impulso delivered a custom campaign package that adapted in real-time to Liftero’s specific operations:
Fueling Ops & Propellant Procurement
Sourced and delivered propellant under strict international regulations and timelines
Conducted certified fueling operations inside Impulso’s controlled ISO-8 cleanroom, with remote monitoring and safety controls
On-Demand Equipment Procurement
Responded to in-campaign requests by acquiring and deploying additional tools and equipment on short notice
Flexible Scheduling & Team Support
Operated with full timeline adaptability to keep in line with Liftero’s schedule
Provided engineering and operational support throughout
Transport & Insurance Coordination
Arranged truck shipment of the satellite from Impulso’s facility to the launch site
Procured aerospace insurance covering every phase of the campaign, including the transit to the launch site
Impulso enabled Liftero to execute their satellite launch campaign on time and on their terms, meeting a demanding schedule and operational uncertainties.
Impulso’s flexible, full-scope solution proved critical to the mission’s success by providing both a facility for the campaign and on-site support, thus ensuring that Liftero was able to complete all operations on time and deliver the satellite to the launch site according to schedule.
