NASA's Space Reactor-1 Freedom, targeting launch in late 2028, is planned as the first fission-powered spacecraft to travel beyond Earth's orbit. A 20-kilowatt uranium (HALEU) reactor will power electric thrusters, demonstrating nuclear electric propulsion for the first time, and at Mars it will release SkyFall: three helicopters evolved from Ingenuity, deployed mid-air, carrying radar to look for buried ice. On Oct 8 2026 NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy signed an agreement to accelerate space nuclear power and propulsion; SR-1 paves the way for Lunar Reactor-1, meant to power NASA's Moon Base through the long lunar nights.
