\"Space<\/p>\n

Space Ocean<\/strong>, a leader in orbital logistics and in-space resource delivery, has entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Space Nuclear Power Corporation (Space Nukes)<\/strong>, a pioneer in advanced space nuclear power systems. The LOI outlines a strategic collaboration to explore integrating space nuclear reactor technology into future deep-space missions. Under the terms of the LOI, Space Ocean intends to test Space Nukes’ 10-kilowatt nuclear reactor aboard its ALV-N satellite. If performance criteria are met, Space Nukes will become a core supplier of nuclear power units for future Space Ocean missions focused on lunar and planetary operations.<\/p>\n

“Power is mission-critical, especially when you’re operating in the deepest parts of space,” said Paul S. Mamakos<\/strong>, CEO of Space Ocean Corp<\/strong>. “This collaboration gives us the opportunity to pair our fluid logistics and delivery infrastructure with nuclear technology that can scale, sustain, and energize orbital and planetary missions.” <\/p>\n

“Space Ocean’s vision aligns with our belief that small, scalable, and extremely reliable nuclear power is essential for long-duration missions,” said Andrew Phelps<\/strong>, CEO of Space Nuclear Power Corporation<\/strong>. “Together, we’re laying the groundwork for a future where spacecraft can generate, manage, and distribute energy far beyond Earth orbit.”<\/p>\n

“This strategic alliance between Space Nukes and Space Ocean is a game changer for not only our programs, but for planetary exploration missions yet to launch,” added Pete Freeland<\/strong>, President and CTO of Space Ocean Corp<\/strong>. “Our collaborative efforts will mature an essential technology for future spaceflight, and we are excited to be aligned with this groundbreaking organization.” The LOI also includes mutual objectives to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Explore the integration of fluid delivery systems with reactor modules<\/li>\n
  • Collect operational data to support Technology Readiness Level 9 (TRL-9) certification<\/li>\n
  • Form a Joint Working Group to pursue additional space infrastructure and commercial opportunities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    While non-binding, the LOI represents a meaningful alignment between two companies working to solve critical challenges in long-range mission design, logistics, and autonomy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
