FSP System Industry Day Slides 9.9.25.pdf

This document is a NASA Fission Surface Power (FSP) Industry Day presentation for a potential lunar power system partnership. NASA seeks to establish commercial partnerships to deploy an operational fission surface power system on the lunar surface by the first quarter of fiscal year 2030, with a minimum 100kWe reactor using a closed Brayton cycle power conversion system and a 10-year design life.

The effort is structured in two phases: Phase A involves development, demonstration, and deployment of the lunar fission power system by private industry in partnership with NASA, concluding with a successful lunar surface deployment. Phase B focuses on commercially generated power availability for NASA, other government agencies, and commercial entities. The Announcement for Partnership Proposals (AFPP) will be posted on sam.gov on August 29, 2025, with an Industry Day on September 9, 2025. Eligible participants are U.S. companies, with proposals due approximately two months after the final AFPP posting. NASA will leverage existing government facilities and expertise from NASA and DOE to support technology development, with a focus on safety, regulatory compliance, and Artemis mission compatibility.
