How about showing the structures that are built on the far side of the moon instead of rocks.

With DRACO, DARPA aims to design, build and fly an NTP-powered spacecraft in orbit by fiscal 2026. If all goes as planned, it could serve as the basis of a Space Force fleet of NTP rocket upper stages that could push big satellites around.

Atomos Space of Denver plans to start its business of moving satellites to their operational orbits with solar-powered tugs like the one in this illustration, but eventually shift to a nuclear-powered version. To test how the regulations for launching such a tug work, the company plans to launch a test reactor in the mid-2020s. Credit: Atomos Space

Lockheed Martin last year submitted to DARPA its concept for a nuclear-powered spacecraft for the agency’s Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Operations, shown here in an illustration. The deliverables of Lockheed Martin’s Phase 1 contract included performance requirements for a nuclear thermal propulsion reactor. Credit: Lockheed Martin
