The U.S. space agency’s Skyfall project calls for sending robotic helicopters to Mars on a nuclear-powered spacecraft before the end of Donald Trump’s presidency
NASA plans a 2028 nuclear-powered Mars mission using SR-1 Freedom and Skyfall helicopters, aiming to transform deep-space travel and future human exploration.
The mission, called Space Reactor-1 Freedom (SR-1 Freedom), is set to launch in December 2028. This mission aims to showcase the use of nuclear fission in space to power electric thrusters. While nuclear technology has been around for decades, it lacked the drive, purpose, destination, and leadership—until now.

The U.S. space agency will aim to send a nuclear-powered spacecraft to Mars—a first—in a bid to show that nuclear propulsion can be used to send missions into deep space
"The most likely explanation is that it corresponds to human-made debris."
NASA plans to launch a nuclear-powered spacecraft to Mars by 2028, a major step for deep space exploration and its planned moon base.
Returning to the moon and building a base will pale in comparison to what we will be capable of accomplishing in the years ahead,” Isaacman said.
