Impulse Space is flaunting Helios / Deneb: 66,720 N thrust. I don't know about ISP; the focus on thrust and its use of methane implies something like the Raptor. Although they are not competing with the Starship. They're going to turn the thing on once in space.
Nuclear is better of course but we frown on that in LEO. So, Impulse are aiming for space-tugging: LEO up to mid-Allen up to GEO and beyond. The press-release calls it "kick stage" and "transfer". Which is fine! We need that too.
It is not just a test; Impulse are to use the engine for real cargo, if small cargo. This is all that fits on a Falcon 9, assumed still the game-in-town in mid 2026. The payload is called "Mira" and it's for our Space Force.
