The results of the latest experiments will be announced at the upcoming press conference. Installation Kilopower was tested in the desert of Nevada from November 2017 to March 2018. It is assumed that Kilopower can be used as an energy source during research on the Moon, Mars and other planets.
The Independent publishes the words of the specialists of the space agency: "The pilot version of the plant can generate up to 10 kW of electric power for 10 years. Approximately so much is consumed by two average households ". The use of nuclear energy will allow astronauts to work even in conditions of long nights on other planets. For example, on the Moon the night lasts for 14 days, and it is impossible to use solar energy at this time.
