World's first commercial nuclear-powered satellite launched aboard SpaceX rocket

SpaceX on Tuesday launched what is described as the world's first commercially built nuclear-powered satellite. The satellite, called BOHR (Betavoltaic Orbital High-Reliability), was developed by City Labs and lifted off aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. BOHR is a demonstration mission designed to test City Labs' proprietary NanoTritium betavoltaic micropower source in space for the first time.
