Powering the Future of American Space Dominance Act
The Powering the Future of American Space Dominance Act directs NASA to develop and report on plans for using nuclear power and propulsion systems to support future missions to the Moon and Mars. It requires the agency to submit detailed updates on nuclear technology progress, including timelines for demonstrating radioisotope power systems and fission reactors on the lunar surface by 2030. Additionally, the bill authorizes NASA to study and potentially enter into agreements with private companies to provide power on the Moon, while also mandating a review of legal protections for commercial partners involved in space nuclear activities.
