Lego Space "Impulse" from the 1980s and the 1990s
Before there were "Impulse" sets, there were these small sets in Lego Space. Each set featured a minifig with a small vehicle (usually). The set numbering started at 6801 and increased numerically (more or less) in the subsequent years. Note, promo mini-sets are not listed here.

1. 6801: Moon Buggy
(1981) This may seem to be just a collection of parts by today's standards, but it's a good collection of parts back then!

6. 6807: (Unnamed)
(1985) It's as if Lego decided that it was time for a vengence in 1985. This is the first set to feature two separate models.

7. 6802: Space Probe
(1986) Surprisingly the "gap" in the numbering (for 1982?) was filled 4-years later with this set. One has to wonder how the original 6802 looked.

9. 6809: XT-5 and Droid
(1987) Another classic space set in the era of Futuron, it's as if Lego was trying to sell all their Classic Space "ideas" before the onset of Futuron.

12. 6812: Grid Trekkor
(1991) The original Blacktron did not have a mini (or for that matter a small) set, so it was a nice surprise that its replacement had this buggy with the jetpack.

17. 6818: Cyborg Scout
(1997) It's interesting to note that Lego skipped a number in between thus suggesting that this perhaps was a last minute add on to the subtheme.

19. 7310: Mono Jet
6817 was the last mini-set made by lego for the space theme before the new millenium. 6820 numbers and onwards were reserved for the "small" sets as opposed to the mini-sets that were part of this list. 6819 has never been used for a mini-set and is the only number left in the range that's unused. Mission to Mars had mini-sets in a different numbering range (that's consecutive with the rest of the theme) for the new millenium, but most of these mini-sets were promos.
