With our second flight coming up this weekend, many ask us why we developed StardustMe. Supporting families such as Remy's is all the reason we ever needed. Celebrating life and creating lasting memories.

StardustMe latest mission patch for our SD-2 mission due to launch 7:46 am, Wednesday 8th November NZ Time.

This time around we had the generous input from the children of one of our customer families going into this design and naming; you may recognize the shape of Hawkes Bay’s Te Mata Peak, and of course, the Matariki constellation of stars. The title 'Stars of Calm" came from the peaceful journey amongst the stars.

StardustMe Fun Fact: Star Wars fans will love this one. The Falcon 9 rocket, which will carry our second launch SD-2 this coming November, was named for the Star Wars Millennium Falcon; 9 refers to the nine Merlin engines that power the first stage; one Merlin vacuum engine powers the second stage.

Although StardustMe didn’t win our section of Excellence in Innovation, we were ‘over the moon’ and proud to support Pultron Composites and Wisewool from Tairawhiti that won their sections and Anna Holdsworth finalist for Inspiring Women in export.

Jason Gunn was an outstanding host and kept us laughing throughout the whole evening and a special thanks to Amanda Liddle for arranging such an amazing event!
