Atomos is investing in remaining at the forefront of in-space propulsion. Solar electric propulsion hits a capacity and speed ceiling - to breakthrough, we need to utilize a new source of energy. Nuclear is the answer.

We're developing a high-performance nuclear power system that scales the power and thrust more than 10x that achievable with solar, in a small and compact package. This is the system that will power the expansion of humanity - hauling cargo to the moon, fast transits to Mars, accessing the outer solar system - and being the only technology with the performance to intercept and deflect an asteroid, it may one day save it.

Starting today with technology development and feasibility experiments, policy and regulatory pathfinding, and global optimization studies, Atomos is paving the way to split the atom to connect the solar system.
