In a significant NASA announcement, Administrator Jared Isaacman and agency leaders outlined plans for a nuclear-powered mission to Mars within the next two years.
The project involves reallocating existing Lunar Gateway hardware to demonstrate highly efficient mass transport in space, with the spacecraft carrying multiple Ingenuity-class helicopters to explore the Red Planet.
The mission, called Space Reactor-1 Freedom (SR-1 Freedom), is set to launch in December 2028.
