// Program Timeline
Prototype micro-satellite with an inert stand-in for nuclear material. Moves development out of the public-private partnership model and into a faster, private innovation loop.
Secure the regulatory approvals to work with high-assay low-enriched uranium and become the first company licensed to enrich nuclear fuel in space.
Deploy a robotic platform capable of refueling a small modular reactor on orbit, demonstrating the autonomous assembly pipeline for the full engine program.
Launch an uncrewed nuclear reactor to orbit and load uranium fuel in situ — the first in-space fueling and ignition demonstration of a nuclear thermal engine.
Full space-based fuel supply chain — enrichment through fuel manufacturing — enabling rapid refueling of a nuclear rocket booster fleet and commercial freight to interplanetary destinations.
// Mission
We are building nuclear thermal propulsion for the next generation of crewed and robotic missions — engines that cut transit times to Mars in half and open the rest of the solar system to fast, capable spacecraft.
