The abundance of nuclear energy in space got a little more real on Tuesday with the launch of a small satellite made by a Florida company that specializes in electronic technology.
It is too far to start a bonafide nuclear reactorsuccess that can help the Moon’s stable power and successfully piloting rockets in the Solar System. But you have to start somewhere.
The satellite from Miami-based City Labs is called BOHR, short for Betavoltaic Orbital High-Reliability, and it was launched on a SpaceX rideshare mission Tuesday along with 80 other payloads. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket launched the BOHR satellite into orbit between 350 and 400 miles (about 600 km) up.
