On-orbit Nuclear Power Concepts Workshop

The Tactical Technology Office (TTO) is requesting information regarding technologies, spaceflight qualification testing, safe handling, and applications for on-orbit satellite nuclear power systems, with a focus on producible, cost-effective nuclear reactors. DARPA TTO and the Department of Energy (DOE) will host this workshop to establish a common understanding of on-orbit nuclear power technology and challenges, facilitate community interactions and collaboration, and identify key technology risk areas that, if addressed, would enable practical implementation of on-orbit nuclear power.
