• Reactor technology. Mature uranium fuel form and Brayton power conversion — delivering more than 20 kilowatts of electrical power.
• Unified leadership. NASA serves as prime integrator in close partnership with the Department of Energy and private sector innovators.
• Incremental development. SR-1 systems pave the way for LR-1 and follow-on efforts
