Satellites keep getting cheaper so the bottleneck is now moving them between orbits, and Impulse Space, a Redondo Beach aerospace company, is building the vehicles to do it. If its vehicles become the standard way to reposition payloads, customers could book orbital transfers the way they book freight.
