Excited to share that we have been selected as nuclear fuel and component manufacture for an Air Force Research Lab - AFRL JETSON program. Under this program we will help mature technology for high power fission systems for spacecraft.

Could we soon see a #nuclear fission reactor in space? U.S. Air Force awarded over $33 million to Lockheed Martin to develop a space reactor with BWXT and Space Nuclear Power Corp. for the JETSON (we see what you did there...) project. space.com/space-nuclear-… #FridayVibes

Half a dozen cubesats working together to study the Sun? Sounds like a project for U-M Climate & Space's Justin C Kasper! Read more about this project by following the link in NASA JPL's post.

An iconic photo of our SunRISE spacecraft, ready to launch! These spacecraft are individually highly capable but will act in concert in orbit to create a virtual radio telescope 10km in diameter! My gratitude to the team at NASA JPL SDL and University of Michigan for this historic milestone.

Did you know that Expo City, in Dubai, where COP28 is being held, glows at dusk from hundreds of lights shaped exactly like nuclear reactor fuel assemblies? Nuclear-powered, nuclear-themed public art at COP28! On winter nights in the UAE, most of the power is actually coming

The SunRISE Mission is gearing for launch! Led by P.I. Professor Justin Kasper, the mission will study emissions from the sun. Read on: jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-6-p… #UMClimateSpace #NASA #JPL NASAjpl @NASA

Earlier this year, a team of experts gathered to discuss a mission concept to detect water and search for life under the icy crusts of moons that orbit Jupiter and Saturn: the cryobot, a cylindrical probe that employs state-of-the-art technologies to drill and investigate beneath

This is such an exciting idea, using the heat from a small nuclear reactor to melt ice and tunnel into the oceans of icy water moons.

Still one of my favorite films. I liked to think Discovery had 3 nuclear thermal rockets.

This is, in my opinion, some of the most exciting research underway. Oceans on other planets!

It wouldn't fit under the tree, but we were excited to unwrap a new steam generator for Unit 5 just in time for the holidays! Thank you to our MCR Rigging and Lifting team, and BWXT, Western Mechanical, E.S. FOX and the Ironworkers Union for this successful delivery.

The Falcon fleet’s life leading rocket completed its 19th and final launch and landing on December 23. This one reusable rocket booster alone launched to orbit 2 astronauts and more than 860 satellites — totaling 260+ metric tons — in ~3.5 years

Farewell B1058, you were a good rocket 🥹

Counting down. One year until Parker’s closest approach to the Sun!

Several speakers detailed the need for space nuclear and aerospace capabilities to be brought together; also, emphasized the opportunity for universities and students. Justin C Kasper: it's an incredible opportunity for you to apply your skills in nuclear power and propulsion
