NASA Aims to Deploy Nuclear Reactor on Moon by 2030 for Strategic Power
NASA is accelerating plans to deploy a 100-kilowatt nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030, according to interim head Sean Duffy. The reactor would ensure steady power through long lunar nights and help secure water-ice resources at the Moon’s south pole. China and Russia also aim for lunar reactors by the mid-2030s, sparking a geopolitical “moon ...

China and Russia Sign Deal to Build Lunar Nuclear Power Plant by 2036
China and Russia have agreed to build a nuclear-powered lunar station by 2036, aiming to outpace NASA’s delayed Artemis mission. The reactor will power a permanent research base at the Moon’s south pole and be constructed autonomously, according to Roscosmos. The deal marks a major step in their joint plan for long-term lunar and Mars explorati...

China to Build Lunar Base at the South Pole by 2035, Unveiling Ambitious Two-Phase Plan
China is set to build a lunar base at the moon's south pole by 2035, with the project rolling out in two phases. The first phase will conclude by 2035, while a more comprehensive model is expected by 2050. The base will utilise solar, radioisotope, and nuclear generators for power, along with advanced communication networks. Lunar vehicles, includi...
