Impulse Space raised $300 million in its latest funding round as the US-based startup looks to cash in on demand for its highly agile spacecraft.

Led by Tom Mueller, a founding member and employee No. 1 at Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Impulse Space develops spacecraft that can haul satellites across different orbits – known as “space tugs” in the industry.
