Space, the final frontier. We can all admire its beauty and relish in the excitement of what companies like SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, and Blue Origin are doing for space travel. However, few are aware that the space industry is not just composed of countries trying to launch satellites or billionaire backed launch companies - it's actually a $500B industry full of many small and medium-sized players helping to develop new ways to generate value out of the vast potential of space.

For most to get "in" is the biggest challenge. Although the industry is growing rapidly, currently, there are few ways to interact with it.

Enter Copernic Space and Lunar Outpost. A goal of Copernic Space is to provide a digital standard for the wider commercial market to buy payload in order to send something into space, in this case, the Moon, while turning it into an asset itself that's fractionalizable and enables the retail market to participate economically in space for the first time. 

While Copernic Space creates the marketplace and ecosystem, Lunar Outpost, an industry-leading private space technology company, is helping to establish a lasting presence in space, starting with planetary rovers that carry payloads like instrumentation, sensors, and other physical assets during missions on the lunar surface. 

Copernic Space and Lunar Outpost have launched the Private Sale portion of the first-ever tokenized space payload sale. Hosted on the Copernic Space platform, the private sale enables companies and individuals to purchase space in Lunar Outpost's M1 MAPP Rover and send their cargo on it to the Moon in late 2022 by acquiring a tradable NFT(Non-Fungible Token). The NFT represents the ownership of their space asset on the Rover and can be fractionalized and resold on the Copernic Space platform to the retail market, creating the first space asset market. 

“This launch creates new revenue models and streamlines commercialization for the space economy while empowering the market to acquire and own space assets for the first time. The upcoming Public Sale will represent the true creation of a space asset market and a democratized one at that.” said Grant Blaisdell, CEO and Co-Founder of Copernic Space.

Lunar Outpost's M1 MAPP rover has a total of 3.475kg of space available in the tokenized sale. The payload will be onboard a rugged platform capable of conquering the extreme environments it will face on the lunar surface. Its navigation will be autonomous and teleoperated and will also come equipped with Nokia's 4G/LTE communications capabilities and video capture. 

“Selling payload in token form presents customers with a new avenue for accessing space. In this case, not only the purchase itself but also the method of purchase is important. We hope that it leads to more payloads operating on the Moon, as well as an expansion of the number of people interested in being a part of space missions.” stated Julian Cyrus, co-founder and COO of Lunar Outpost.

The private sale is the beginning of Lunar Outpost and Copernic Space proving a new economic model for space in the digital age. It will bring the mass market with it during the Public Sale and mark the beginning of the tokenization of space as Copernic Space has multiple commercial launches on the platform slated over the next year.

About Copernic Space

From payload space to venture tokens, Copernic Space is the marketplace to buy, sell, and manage space assets. By enabling access to space assets and ventures using blockchain technology, Copernic Space unlocks the benefits of the space economy to the mass market and provides space ventures the capability to better commercialize assets and attain financing. www.copernicspace.com

About Lunar Outpost

Lunar Outpost is an advanced robotics company developing technologies that have both Earth and space applications. Lunar Outpost recently made history as the first commercial company to collect payment for a space resources contract, which NASA Administrator Bill Nelson awarded at the Space Symposium in August. This payment was for a mission currently slated to send the first rover in human history to the lunar south pole on a 2022 mission to deploy Nokia's 4G lunar network. Additionally, Lunar Outpost took part in the first-ever ISRU demonstration on another planet when MOXIE, onboard the Perseverance rover, produced oxygen on Mars. 

HONG KONG, Feb 25, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Pentamaster International Limited ("PIL" or "the Group") which is listed under the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited announced its financial results for the year ended 31 December 2021 today. The Group hit a new record in its 2021 revenue, registering at MYR508.1 million, whilst its net profit stood at MYR116.7 million for the financial year ended 2021; marking an improvement of approximately 21.4% and 2.5% respectively from the corresponding period last year.
The overall performance of the Group recovered commendably in 2021, with growth driven by improved contributions from both the ATE and FAS business segments with each segment accounting for approximately 70.1% and 29.9% of the total Group's revenue, as compared to 2020 of 67.6% and 32.4%, respectively.

ATE segment

With a revenue contribution rate of 70.1%, the ATE segment continued to contribute the larger portion of the Group's overall revenue and profit. After witnessing a decline in revenue last year, total revenue from this segment marked a turnaround and grew at a double-digit rate of 22.6% to MYR358.4 million. During the year, backed by the recovery of the smartphone market and its peripheral items. the electro-optical industry continued to dominate the ATE segment with its revenue contribution rate of approximately 49.7%, derived from abroad
the product portfolio of the Group in its test solutions for the proximity sensor, 3D magnetometer sensor, ambient light sensor, wafer-level VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) and other relevant applications under optics and photonics sensing solutions.

Owing to the Group's persistent effort in increasing its exposure to the automotive industry, revenue from this sector came in as the second-highest within the ATE segment with its contribution rate of 27.6%. In addition, the automotive sector chalked the highest growth rate at 39.9% among other industry sectors within the ATE segment. This strong demand was largely attributed to the Group's automotive test solutions covering a full range of assembly and test technologies for various aspects of the manufacturing process ranging from the component test, final test to packaging. During the year, the ATE segment was also benefitted from the semiconductor industry with its revenue contribution rate of 20.0%, where this sector captured a 26.8% growth as compared to 2020 from the continuous demand for the Group's test handling equipment which was underpinned by the growth of integrated chips and other related semiconductor contents from the acceleration of digital transformation by the pandemic over the past two years.

The ATE segment will continue to dominate the performance of the Group in the foreseeable future. With the global pandemic unleashing the unprecedented wave of technology developments coupled with the power and momentum of technology convergence, the Group is in a promising position to leverage on these significant opportunities in the ATE segment.

FAS segment

After recording a strong revenue growth in the year 2020, the FAS segment continued to witness a double-digit growth rate in its contribution to the Group's revenue, chalking 12.3% growth to achieve MYR155.3 million during the year. This was mainly driven by the robust demand for the Group's proprietary i-ARMS solutions, where a wider customer base adopted this application across different industry segments in different countries and regions. Notably, this segment gained its revenue momentum in the third and fourth quarters of the year, with revenue in the second half of the year exceeding its first half by approximately 19.5%. The main industry segment that led to FAS growth was the consumer and industrial product segment, contributing approximately 45.4% to overall FAS segment revenue. This was followed by the electro-optical segment and medical device segment with its respective revenue contribution rate of 30.4% and 19.3% where the application of the Group's i-ARMS was equally prevalent in
these segments.

The Group continues to witness huge potential and opportunities in its FAS segment given the fundamental shift towards factory automation and smart manufacturing across various industries, especially in a post-pandemic environment. With the current automation trend, the Group will continue to broaden and enrich the capability of its automated solutions to capture the growth from these developments in the years ahead.

Outlook

"It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically and fundamentally altered the way we live and work. From social distancing, quarantine, closed borders, travel bans to the buzzword "home office" have never been mandated on such a large scale. The Group, however, navigated the "unsettling" effects of the pandemic and ended the financial year relatively "healed". Such accomplishment has demonstrated the Group's resilience in taking on the undeniable challenges that demand new ways of operating in a post-pandemic business environment and its versatility and speed in emerging strongly owing to the hard work and concerted efforts of the employees of the Group.

As the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining. The pandemic has pushed many companies over the technology tipping point and with the surge in automation, digital adoption has taken a quantum leap across many companies and industries. As a result of these developments, the Group embraces 2022 with increased optimism on the back of a strong order book momentum largely driven by another high growth potential year surrounded by several catalysts brought about by AI, big data analytics, IoT, self-driving cars, Industry 4.0 and the deepening application of 5G. With the electro-optical segment currently dominating the Group's financial performance, this segment will continue its growth momentum in 2022, albeit modestly, given the Group's growing exposure to other industry segments. In respect of the automotive segment, the Group expects to witness the continuous affluence of this segment with e-mobility emerging at an accelerated pace. With electrification playing an important role in the transformation of the transportation industry and thereby presenting major opportunities in all vehicle segments, the global transition specifically towards electric vehicles ("EV") continues to get momentum and creates major disruption in the automotive industry and the related nexus. Significant efforts are witnessed through regulators worldwide defining more stringent emissions targets which include, among others, the European Union CO2 emissions regulations for cars and vans, China's New Energy Vehicles (NEV) mandate and Biden's administration is introducing a 50% EV target by 2030. Given this context, the Group anticipates a favorable prospect for its automotive test solutions from front-end to back-end which will continue to provide an impetus to the Group's overall performance.

In the belief that there is so much room and business opportunity for further expansion and that now is the best time to be planning for the future, the upcoming new manufacturing plant will pave the way for the Group to deepen its foothold in the medical device segment and bring the growth of its FAS segment to the next level. Key technologies that have been used widely in industrial manufacturing are seen to be filtering into the healthcare sector and with AI conquering the next frontier of the medical segment, the automation opportunity within this horizon is now abundant. With these technology developments presented, the Group is heartened to witness the growing demand for its automated assembly solutions from a broader customer base within the medical device segment on the back of an encouraging booking momentum. Together with the setup of Pentamaster MediQ Sdn. Bhd. for its involvement in the manufacturing of single-use medical devices, the Group is fully prepared for the huge market opportunities in the medical industry. Having continuously witnessed revenue growth from the FAS segment in the past two years, the Group continues to benefit from the increased focus of various industries on industrial automation which is now rapidly necessitated by the effects of the pandemic. As the surge in automation continues in the coming years with the use of AI and IoT in the manufacturing processes, the huge potential and opportunities in the FAS segment will be prevalent. Girded by a year of relatively stable financial performance in 2021, the Group will continue to focus fundamentally on its operational capabilities and remain proactive in the development of new cutting-edge technologies and solutions. With a wide variety of challenges and opportunities confronting 2022, the Group, having the pulse on the global trends and requirements, is forward-looking in building another year of solid business growth. As it is, the virus is here to stay for a period of time and will be a reality in our daily lives. The Group's priority is to ensure the safety of its employees with its strict adherence to the necessary safety measures and operating procedures.

Hanoi, Vietnam, Feb 18, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Recently, Heroesoft Inc, an experienced development company, start an exciting whole new NFT game. It is the first MMO RTS game ever in the market, bringing A New Concept of Earning in the Blockchain World. That new approach promises to bring multiple profits, even triple than usual GameFi.

Enjoy unique gaming experiences while earning multiple profits

NFT games in the past 2 years are no longer strangers to the Trader & Investors community, but there are too few games on the market accessible to genuine Gamers. Because most of the original NFT games only attracted players who wanted to "make quick money", the plot and gameplay did not catch much attention from real players. Heroes of the Land brings back the memories of old traditional legendary games in the market such as army building, territory expansion, defense, protecting resources like Heroes of Might, Magic 3, Rise of Kingdoms,...

More than just investing and making money, the structure of this product is also a great bridge linking the development of quality real-time strategy games and increasing the experience for the NFT series. Promising in the future, it will change the prejudice about NFT gameplay and appeal to gamers that are more traditional.

Realistic 3D graphics NFT game - Heroes of the Land has high tactical and political value, simulates a practical economic model, bringing a new concept of earning in the Blockchain world. For the first time, one GameFi has three characters for three separate roles, as they have three ways to play to earn so that players can get triple profits than usual.

Unique Game Play experience throughout the game

The special feature of Heroes of the Land is that players can experience gameplay throughout the game with different game battle modes, like many strategy games before, that is PvP, PvE, MMO: Clan vs. Clan, Tournament/Guild.

In addition, players can also choose other features such as launching a war to expand territory, summoning new heroes, upgrading heroes & lands statistics, land conquering, construction building, farming & hunting.

According to Nhan Nguyen, CEO & Co-founder of Heroesoft: "I have been always enjoyed my spare time playing Rise Of Kingdoms. Many of my friends have been fans of this old-school game too. Sometimes, I looked around and thought: "Why don't I bring this billion revenue game model to the NFT world?" Then the next day, I gathered some of my old friends and my talented team as software developers, senior designers, game publishing managers,... I shared the idea of the project. We had to make an MMO RTS build on the blockchain"

The beta test will be released in Q2-2022. Heroes of the Land is available to play on many platforms: computers, tablets, Android, and IOS.

A New Concept of Earning in Blockchain world

As you can see, casual and basic mobile games have been becoming more mainstream, players spend hours binge-tapping on the phone screen playing Candy Crush Saga or PUBG but they are not able to earn money from it. Meanwhile, other players choose the concept "Play-to-earn" which has grown in popularity in the last 2 years. With that model, not only to play, players can get income as a full-time job during Covid-19 times.

Heroes of the Land promises to meet all different audiences' requirements to participate in this game. Through their monetization for 3 characters, those audiences can earn real money in many ways that fit their demand and ability:

At first, Free Players may fully immerse themselves in the role of Worker. Those players are known as having entry barriers that have little capital or do not want to invest in the game right from the beginning. With Heroes of the Land, they can freely mine resources in-game such as gold, wood, and stone to start earning. Then when they want to earn more, they can upgrade their skills, use resources to craft and sell NFT items to Invest-gamers (mean the Hero character) through the Marketplace.

Invest-Gamer is looking for potential game projects that will allow them to dive into the hard-core epic world while making a profit. Once they got any NFT Hero though buying Hero box in Heroes of the Land's Marketplace, they could join different game modes such as Game battle (PvE, PvP, Clan vs Clan, Tournament/ Guilds war), summon new Heroes, upgrade Hero statistics, land conquering, construction building, farming & hunting.

Then the game has Investors in the Lord character, who are knowledgeable, have a rich background of projects so far, quick to grasp market trends. These investors who have money but do not have much time on playing games, the quickest way is to obtain NFT Land and afterward, they could begin the process of receiving long-term passive income from Workers and Heroes who live in their land. The Lord also has special power in launching the war to expand their territory, when they successfully registered the new land by attacking NPC, they can sell this asset on Marketplace to maximize profits.

Noticeably, you can join the game in 3 roles at the same time. Thanks to this, you have multiple ways to earn multiple profits, even triple than usual GameFi.

Heroes of the Land Main token

HOL Token: HOL is the main token of the game Heroes of the Land, developed on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) technology platform, according to BEP-20 standards. The structure of BSC allows players to develop on decentralized application dApps – exchange of P2P tokens without intermediaries. Currently, BSC is compatible with EVM and combined with Metamask wallet, Defi Trust Wallet, Imtoken. Users can transfer ETH to BSC with fast speed and 20 times lower fees than Ethereum.

The burning of HOL and Ruby tokens is required for almost all in-game activities. Along with the growth of the community, the demand for two tokens will increase. Consequently, their value will be stable over time. With their anti-inflation mechanism, we can ensure the investment of early investors.

The talented development team can make the dream game come true

Heroes of the Land is formed and developed by experts who have experience in the field of Blockchain technology and Game development:

Nhan Nguyen, CEO & Co-founder of Heroesoft Inc came from a famous global software company and had a deep knowledge of the Blockchain technology; Dung Nguyen, COO of Heroesoft Inc had 10+ years as a Game Publishing Director; talented and experienced development team are all come from popular companies. Before Heroesoft Inc entered the Blockchain field, they had been involved in many action mobile games for the worldwide market and formed nearly a hundred online and offline games

Also in the early stage, they luckily have strong backers support them, such as Kyber Venture, Raptor Capital, Tomo Chain, HUB Global...

Hence, Heroes of the Land has enough potential to become a complete and quality long-life game cycle product in the NFT game market from now on.
