With nuclear, you can put megawatts of power into a single spacecraft for more than just passively observing what is happening around you. You’re able to do active missions on the surface and in cislunar space, all because you have power. - @PaoloVenneri

This summer @USNCTech had the honor of hosting two fellows from the second class of the @PGSFellowship, with Vincent working on advanced nuclear fuels and Trinity on internal reactor modeling software. We're sad to see their time here wrap up, but eager to see what they do next!

We're very excited to contribute to the exciting and innovative things happening on the commercial side of space. Things are happening faster than ever in our realm of space nuclear — figuratively, and soon, literally.
