PULSAR PARTNERS WITH LEADING
SPACE BALLOON LAUNCH COMPANY TO CHAMPION UNIVERSITY SCIENCE
PROGRAMMES
Pulsar Helium Inc. (AIM: PLSR, TSXV:
PLSR, OTCQB: PSRHF) ("Pulsar" or the "Company"), the helium project
development company, is pleased to announce a partnership
with Send My Stuff To
Space Ltd ("SMSTS"). Pulsar's in-house
initiative 'Pulsar Scholars', the quarterly bursary programme
designed to support students in higher-education studying Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics ("STEM"), will partner with
SMSTS's Academic Space Programme which is designed to give students
an opportunity to test their science projects at
altitude.
SMSTS deploys helium and hydrogen
filled biodegradable natural latex space balloons, providing
suborbital flights into the upper stratosphere (at an altitude of
approximately 130,000 feet above sea level). The environment in the
middle segment of the near-space, upper stratosphere, 30-48
kilometres above sea level, is similar to the environment on the
surface of Mars: dry, cold, hypobaric pressure, and exposed to high
doses of UV irradiation, making it ideal for students looking to
test cube satellites and other scientific and technological
experiments for durability.
Highlights
• The
bursary funds of US$2,500 provided quarterly by the Pulsar Scholars
initiative to STEM students will be used to pay SMSTS to test
student projects and experiments in suborbital
conditions.
• This
partnership will provide students with reliable, proven, and
sustainable test flights at heavily discounted rates for
educational missions.
• By
covering the full cost of the flight, the bursary ensures students
have access to the resources and support they need to advance and
test their projects effectively.
Marc Farrington, Pulsar's Head of PR & Partnerships
commented: "Our in-house outreach initiative, Pulsar
Scholars, has been providing quarterly bursaries of US$2,500 to
support higher education students pursuing STEM subjects since
2023. Through our partnership with SMSTS, Pulsar Scholars will
support their Academic Space Programme giving students an
opportunity to test and validate the durability of their projects
in one of the world's most extreme environments."
The
Partnership
As SMSTS transitions from
hydrogen-filled space balloons to align more closely with best
practices in ballooning, primary helium is becoming the preferred
lifting gas for its suborbital flights, offering sustainability on
par with hydrogen.
SMSTS is expanding its Academic
Space Programme, offering students the opportunity to test their
science projects at high altitudes. Recognising the vital role of
higher education in advancing scientific discovery, Pulsar, a
science-focused company, has introduced the Pulsar Scholars
initiative to support cutting-edge student projects. As part of
this initiative, Pulsar will award quarterly bursaries of USD$2,500
to STEM students seeking to test their projects and experiments in
suborbital conditions. The bursary funds will be used by students
to pay SMSTS, which provides reliable, proven, and sustainable test
flights at heavily discounted rates for educational missions. By
covering the full cost of the flight, the bursary ensures students
have access to the resources and support they need to advance and
test their projects effectively.
