Also known as Pulsar Aerospace Limited

Pulsar Fusion is a UK space propulsion company headquartered in Bletchley, founded in 2011. Its current products are Hall-effect electric thrusters for satellites, rated from 500 W to 10 kW, and hybrid rocket engines, which it tested in 2021. Its fusion work is a propulsion concept called Sunbird, based on what it calls a Dual Direct Fusion Drive, a compact fusion engine intended to produce both thrust and electrical power for spacecraft; the company says it plans in-orbit demonstration testing in 2027. It is in this directory for that fusion propulsion programme, not for power generation on Earth.
