Impulse Space’s Post

Payload integration for our LEO Express 3 Mira is a "wrap"—the spacecraft is now fitted with multi‑layer insulation (MLI) ahead of its launch later this year. In space, temperature extremes pose significant challenges for spacecraft. MLI ensures our avionics, propulsion systems, payloads, and other onboard components stay within their acceptable thermal ranges throughout the mission lifetime. Our team is now focusing on final system checkouts before shipping to the launch site. #MobilizeSpace

That's a clean-looking spacecraft wrap! Thermal management is one of the most unforgiving aspects of spacecraft design. Getting the MLI installed correctly is a critical step to ensure mission success, especially for a platform designed for the demanding environment of LEO.
