Four Milestones to Space Native Nuclear Power

Prototype Demonstrators
11 — 2026 Q4

Cubesat Sub-system Demonstrators

Rapid testing, iterating, and manufacture of series of cubesats tasked with demonstrating and validating new technologies in space.

HALEU Licensure
02 — 2027 Q1

Obtain HALEU Licensure

Secure the regulatory approvals to work with high-assay low-enriched uranium and become the first company licensed to launch nuclear fuel into space.

Medium Architecture
8 — 2028 Q2

Medium Sized Space Architecture

Successful deployment and system-wide integration of our scaled space-power prototype. Moving from component testing to full-system architecture, this deployment unites all sub-systems under a single operational model to demonstrate the baseline scalability of our space-native energy generation technology.

World's First DSR
12 — 2030 Q4

Deployment of Deep Space Reactor

Orbital deployment and live demonstration of our deep space power platform. Launching a fully integrated reactor to orbit, this mission will achieve the first true in-space ignition and power-generation sequence of a space-native nuclear reactor, marking the official transition from theoretical design to active space-power operations.

// Mission

Powering the next frontier. We build next-generation space nuclear systems to solve the critical energy demands of tomorrow: Powering everything from global data centers to orbital stations and deep space exploration.

// Team

Our founding team of nuclear, aerospace,
and software innovators.
