NASA is building the first nuclear reactor-powered interplanetary spacecraft, called the Space Reactor-1 Freedom, with plans to fly it to Mars by the end of 2028. The successful mission would herald a new era in spaceflight, making traveling between Earth, the moon, and Mars faster and easier than ever.
NASA is developing a nuclear reactor-powered spacecraft. The Space Reactor-1 Freedom is planned to fly to Mars by 2028. This mission would mark a new era in spaceflight. Nuclear propulsion is more energy-dense and efficient than traditional chemical propulsion. It would enable spacecraft to fly through the solar system for longer and faster. NASA's goal is to establish a base at the lunar south pole and send regular missions to the moon.
