WASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 2026
HyImpulse's €350M+ order book shows that demand for sovereign, responsive launch is already translating into significant commercial scale.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OMVP today announced that it has co-led a financing of more than €50 million in HyImpulse Technologies GmbH, backing the company as it scales sovereign European launch capabilities.
HyImpulse is a German company developing suborbital and orbital launch platforms using proprietary hybrid propulsion technology and has already built an order book of more than €350 million.
"HyImpulse bridges the gap between strategic necessity and commercial demand" said Sean Bielat, Managing Partner of OMVP. "Europe needs resilient, independent access to space, and HyImpulse is building a business around that need."
The new capital will support the company's second SR75 launch, the maiden flight of its SL1 orbital vehicle, expanded production and growth across commercial and defense markets.
The HyImpulse raise demonstrates OMVP's unique sourcing advantage. OMVP was the only U.S. participant selected for the round.
