Fusion is the future of space
Pulsar is a clean space propulsion systems and services company delivering intelligent propulsion now and creating the future through fusion applications.
Why
To leave our planetary neighbourhood and to live on other worlds, a propulsion and power source that delivers at scale is needed: fusion is the best choice.
How
We are creating an ecosystem of propulsion systems and services that addresses current market demand and enables the deployment of fusion systems in the near future.
