From NASA-
Thursday, Jan. 18, Noon: NASA and partners discuss power for future space exploration. From the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas, NASA and its partners will discuss a recent experiment involving a new power source that could provide the safe, efficient and plentiful energy needed for future robotic and human space exploration missions. Live streaming audio of the news conference and presentation slides will be available on this page.
