MONTREAL — JRTech Solutions has announced plans to support Concordia’s Space Hub in its production of the StarSailor — the first student-built rocket created to cross the Kármán Line and reach outer space.
As part of the new partnership, JRTech Solutions has customized one of its graphic Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL) to be placed inside the rocket and sent into space.

Space Concordia’s Rocketry Division has operated in the design, manufacture, and sounding of rockets since 2014. Over the years, the team has competed in the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition and the Spaceport America Cup, a global rocketry competition with over 125 international universities participating.
“JRTech Solutions is an innovator and pioneer in its field of retail technology,” said Matteo Mazzone, president of Space Concordia in a statement.
“It is important for Space Concordia to collaborate with sponsors who think big, have blazed the path forward in their own field, and whose guidance and expertise will help us complete our mission to space.”
