As the world enters a new era of space exploration, a question has been puzzling some of the greatest minds here on Earth: how to ensure a reliable and clean energy source to power our cosmic dreams.<\/strong> Rolls-Royce has been working on an answer to that inevitable question. The British company is mostly known for the cars that it manufactures, which are a wave of torque and opulence. The lasting luxury that a Rolls-Royce gives is exemplary of the engineering excellence that the company has in spades, but what you might not know is that Rolls-Royce makes small modular reactors.<\/p>\n

Our universe is waiting for us to come and explore the vast open areas of space<\/h2>\n

For as long as mankind has had the ability to make conscious decisions, we have looked up to the vastness of space and wondered, will we ever reach a point in our modern civilization where we are able to dive into the sea of space and unravel the mysteries of the universe? Thankfully, Rolls-Royce has been working on what some may consider to be the future of space power.<\/p>\n

Rolls-Royce has been developing a new type of modular reactor specifically designed to power our space dreams. The British firm has revealed a nuclear Space Micro-Reactor Concept Model<\/strong> that will power our space exploration dreams over the coming years. The reactor forms part of a larger initiative being backed by the UK Space Agency.<\/p>\n

“All space missions depend on a power source and, as a self-contained and power-dense solution, a Micro-Reactor can provide power for the habitation and exploration of a planetary surface, or power and propulsion for spacecraft. Continuous power and efficient propulsion can also provide satellites with more flexible movement to protect and defend key orbits.” – Rolls-Royce<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rolls-Royce wants to power our collective space exploration ambitions<\/h2>\n

The company has been working on its Micro-Reactor technology that it hopes to deploy to a lunar station by 2030. While those ambitions are commendable, ensuring the safety and reliability of the technology may take some time. Due to the efficiency and lightweight design, a Micro-Reactor could provide the necessary power needed for space exploration, regardless of location or access to solar rays.<\/p>\n

Rolls-Royce has been working alongside several institutions<\/strong> to develop the Micro-Reactor, such as:<\/p>\n
