Agreement Expands Collaboration on Space Propulsion Technologies
NASA and the US Department of Energy have signed a new agreement to accelerate the development of nuclear space propulsion technologies and power systems. The collaboration will focus on research, nuclear fuel manufacturing, safety testing, and the integration of these technologies into future missions. The agreement includes projects such as Space Reactor-1 Freedom and Lunar Reactor-1, which aim to demonstrate the viability of nuclear electric propulsion in deep space and provide power to future lunar bases. This development was first reported by Unknown Source.
