A Letter of Intent (LOI) has been signed between Space Ocean Corporation and Space Nuclear Power Corporation (SpaceNukes) to integrate a 10 kW microreactor into future deep-space missions.
The partnership aims to test the microreactor aboard Space Ocean's planned ALV-N satellite, potentially positioning SpaceNukes as a core power supplier for lunar and planetary operations.
SpaceNukes will become a core supplier of nuclear power units for future Space Ocean missions focused on lunar and planetary operations, if performance criteria are met.
