Kilopower tackles a few different problems in spacecraft design: existing nuclear power systems rely on a fuel we've essentially run out of, solar power becomes increasingly feeble the further from ...
Last year, NASA conducted a successful test of a new nuclear power generator called Kilopower under a program called Kilowatt Using Stirling Technology or KRUSTY for short. The generator ran a series ...
NASA is working on a nuclear reactor to power (and later propel) deep-space exploration, such as human missions to the moon and Mars. Kilopower is a 1- to 10-kilowatt design that could theoretically ...
NASA is planning to put astronauts on Mars one day and since the Red Planet is about as off the grid as you can get, the space agency is developing a new generation of modular nuclear reactors to ...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is developing a new generation of modular nuclear reactors that will power manned outposts on the moon and Mars, providing a simple, yet ...
Science fiction writer Douglas Adams said it best — “Space is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is.” Getting from one point to another takes a very, ...
The Kilopower reactors are tiny nuclear reactors that have been redesigned for safe power. The full power runs for the test reactors will be done this month and the next two months. Before the ...
Dr. David Poston, Los Alamos National Laboratory talks about the simple and safe NASA Kilopower Project. KRUSTY showed that developing a small reactor is not inherently expensive. – A new reactor ...
