Case Study: Impulse Space achieves faster test stand setup with Revel

Impulse Space cuts test stand setup from 1-3 weeks to 1-3 days with Revel

Impulse Space, a vertically integrated spacecraft company, faced a significant challenge scaling its test infrastructure. Their reliance on a patchwork of in-house software and disparate hardware created bottlenecks, requiring specialized engineers for minor changes and taking weeks to set up new test stands. This slowed their iteration speed and pulled resources away from core engineering work. They needed a unified platform from Revel to integrate any hardware and empower operators to self-serve.

Revel provided a unified software platform that replaced Impulse's fragmented stack, enabling them to mix hardware from multiple vendors seamlessly. The browser-based interface allowed for intuitive, drag-and-drop test stand setup that anyone could learn, putting sequence changes directly in the hands of test engineers. The results were dramatic: test stand setup became 10x faster, hardware cost savings were estimated at over 100x, and the team achieved multiple test fires per day. Revel's solution provided reliable, high-performance control and standardized operations across the entire company.
