NASA is advancing nuclear power and propulsion in space to accomplish President Trump’s national space objectives.

With SR-1 Freedom, launching in 2028, we will demonstrate nuclear electric propulsion and deliver SkyFall helicopters to Mars.

In collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy, these capabilities are key to future missions to Mars and beyond.

A new chapter of deep space exploration begins.
