6park.comNASA Announces Artemis Concept Awards for Nuclear Power on Moon 6park.com 6park.com 6park.comFission surface power systems – depicted in this conceptual illustration – could provide reliable power for human exploration of the Moon under Artemis. 6park.comCredits: NASA 6park.comNASA and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are working together to advance space nuclear technologies. The agencies have selected three design concept proposals for a fission surface power system design that could be ready to launch by the end of the decade for a demonstration on the Moon. This technology would benefit future exploration under the Artemis umbrella.
The contracts, to be awarded through the DOE’s Idaho National Laboratory, are each valued at approximately $5 million. The contracts fund the development of initial design concepts for a 40-kilowatt class fission power system planned to last at least 10 years in the lunar environment. 6park.com
