Sponsors

Stratos relies not only on the efforts of its team members but also on those of its sponsors. Without those sponsors this project would not have been possible. Project Stratos would like to thank the following sponsors.

Becoming a sponsor

DARE is one of the largest and most experienced student rocket associations in Europe. With over 100 enthusiastic students, DARE has a lot to offer sponsors.
The Stratos II project will associate sponsors with a highly advanced, technological and adventurous project. As a rocket going halfway to space, Stratos II speaks to the imagination. Cooperation gives sponsors a direct link with staff and students. Aside from the Stratos II team, DARE is also working in close cooperation with TU Delft, with students graduating on projects that are a part of the Stratos II design.
Additionally, a sponsorship agreement can be combined with a payload slot on the rocket to maximize the exposure in the media and the scientific community.For more information, see our sponsor brochure.
