Pulsar Partners with Leading Space Balloon Launch Company to Champion University Science Programmes
November 22 2024 - 2:00AM
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.
