Pulsar Fusion

Pulsar Fusion is a UK space propulsion company headquartered in Bletchley, Milton Keynes, developing nuclear fusion-powered rocket propulsion technology alongside near-term electric propulsion systems, targeting a fundamental breakthrough in specific impulse performance that would enable dramatically shorter transit times for deep space and interplanetary missions. The company conducts research into pulsed plasma fusion propulsion — including plasma confinement experiments in partnership with Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory — targeting a fusion rocket demonstrator that would achieve exhaust velocities far exceeding chemical and existing electric propulsion, while also manufacturing ion thruster electric propulsion systems for commercial satellite orbit raising and station-keeping. Pulsar Fusion serves the space industry as both a near-term commercial electric propulsion supplier and a long-term fusion propulsion research programme targeting revolutionary capabilities for deep space human and robotic exploration missions.
