An X-ray "flashlight" which would use an energy source based on @UltraSafeNuke's EmberCore nuclear chargeable ceramic technology to map the lunar surface has been selected for early-stage funding @NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts programme #nuclear tinyurl.com/4jnse4zb

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

Find @PaoloVenneri, @adamschilffarth, and @AstroSeifert at the @FAANews Commercial Space Transportation Conference later this week to learn about our latest #SNPP projects, like the EmberCore X-Ray Flashlight (pictured) that we're designing as a participant in @NASA NIAC program.

At the CLPS Survive The Night Workshop, Ben Fisher, EmberCore Product Manager at @USNCTech, is presenting our team's work on using commercially available radioisotopes like EmberCore (usnc.com/embercore) to enable technology to survive the extreme cold lunar night.

We'll be at @ascendspace later this month. Catch @PaoloVenneri on the Nuclear Energy & Its Future Role in Space panel, @wrdeason presenting the team's work on megawatt-class fission power systems for orbit and lunar applications, and the rest of us at Booth A2. See you soon!
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!
@PGSFellowship is an award-winning program that connects the nation’s leading aerospace companies with talented Black aerospace students. To learn more, check out the fellowship's website at pgsfellowship.org/
Did you see us in the @SeattleTimes Business section on Sunday? Thanks to @mayacmiller for featuring us in her story on the exciting next-gen space travel technologies being developed here in Seattle!

Thanks for the excellent write-up, @IEEESpectrum. We're very excited to work with @DIU_x on designing a sun-independent spacecraft, powered by our EmberCore technology. usnc.com/embercore/

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.
