Ex-SpaceX employee just revealed BIG Invention changed everything Falcon 9 can do...
There's an exciting new invention that could revolutionize the way payloads are launched into geostationary orbit, similar to Falcon Heavy, but at a lower cost and without discarding a core. Impulse Space has introduced a new spacecraft called Helios, revealed on January 17. Helios is a kick stage equipped with an engine fueled by liquid oxygen and methane propellants. It functions as a transfer stage, capable of swiftly transporting satellites weighing up to approximately 5,000 kilograms from low Earth orbit to geostationary orbit in less than a day. This innovation holds the potential to significantly reduce costs and enhance efficiency in satellite deployment.
This is indeed a significant development! Typically, most spacecraft are launched to low Earth orbit (LEO), which is at an altitude of 1,200 miles or less from Earth. However, when companies need to send a satellite to geosynchronous orbit (GEO), approximately 22,000 miles away, they traditionally have two main options. They can either secure a direct ride on rockets capable of reaching GEO, such as SpaceX's Falcon Heavy or United Launch Alliance's Atlas V, or opt for a Falcon 9 and head to an intermediate orbit known as geostationary transfer orbit (GTO). In the latter case, the spacecraft then uses onboard propulsion to reach its final destination.
The traditional options for sending satellites to geosynchronous orbit (GEO) have their drawbacks: the direct ride on specific rockets like Falcon Heavy is expensive, and the indirect route via geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) is time-consuming, taking 6-8 months. Impulse Space is introducing a third option with its expendable Helios kick stage. Compatible with existing medium-lift launch vehicles, Helios has the potential to revolutionize this process. It aims to take payloads weighing up to five tons directly from lower LEO to GEO in less than 24 hours, providing a faster and more cost-effective solution.
