The cislunar volume is immense. Transiting it requires both high thrust and substantial fuel efficiency. Transiting it repeatedly – to establish reliable ferry services – demands a lightweight solution which only Dark Fission can provide.
In five years, we plan to launch an orbital demonstration vehicle powered by a nuclear thermal rocket. It will forever change how we think about moving around in space.
The cost of access to low orbit continues to fall. We are focusing on how to leverage this market trend and open the entire cislunar regime to commercial use.
Dark Fission’s founding team and engineering staff have been building and flying space systems for many years. We know what works, and what doesn’t.
We are building on decades of development in nuclear systems and space propulsion.
Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) is a mature market and domain with unique features. It is not going away – and Dark Fission’s nuclear thermal rocket will make GEO a more attractive place to operate than ever before
We are designing the Dark Fission engine to take advantage of the orbital “terrain’ of the Earth-Moon system. We want to get you where you are going quickly, at low cost.
