NASA is teaming up with the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory to develop a non-solar power source on the Moon by the year 2030. But they need some help with the details.
The plan is to assemble the reactor on Earth and then launch it to the M oon.
"Plentiful energy will be key to future space exploration," said Jim Reuter, an associate administrator for NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate, in the same release.

The moon, Earth's natural satellite, is riddled with craters from celestial objects crash landing on its surface.
The 165-foot-long asteroid, also known as 2016 HO3 , was discovered in 2016 when researchers spotted it with the Pan-STARRS PS1 telescope at the Haleakalā Observatory in Hawai'i, reports Robin George Andrews for the New York Times. The instrument specializes in detecting asteroids.
What are moon rocks and how to tell if they're real
Jewelry featuring moon dust from lunar meteorites is available for purchase, but the International Meteorite Collections Association warns that fakes abound.
A tiny sample of the Soviet lunar soil has sold twice at auction, most recently in 2018 for $855,000. Sotheby's auction house said the buyer was a "private American collector."

Self-Assembly Landing Pads for the Moon — UCF Researchers Are Working on It | University of
Imagine hitting a button and instantly creating a landing pad just moments before descending a rocket onto the moon or an asteroid. That's the concept behind two research projects underway at the Florida Space Institute at UCF.
FSI postdoctoral researcher Douglas Fontes worked with planetary scientist Phil Metzger and Masten Space Systems, a private company, to create a model that may do just that.
How NASA's Super Guppy Is Helping the Artemis Moon Missions | Digital Trends
The enormous wide-bodied plane is used by the space agency to transport components that are too large to fit on a conventional cargo plane.
The Super Guppy was used to move parts of NASA's massive Saturn V rocket in preparation for the lunar missions of the late 60s and early 70s, and now the aircraft is taking to the skies to assist the upcoming Artemis moon missions.
