If you are a tech or science enthusiast then you must have known SpaceX not only because of Elon Musk but also by its achievements and successful launches after so many failures.
But this time it feels like SpaceX is going to lose the race of Space
exploration. Because Russia is planning to send a nuclear-powered spacecraft which is also reusable like SpaceX’s Starship, to the moon, then Venus, then finally Jupiter. Intrigued to know more about it?
Stay with us till the end of this video.

And guys today we are going to talk about Russia’s game changing
Nuclear Powered spacecraft.

So, tie your seat belts to begin this journey, So, Roscosmos, Russia's federal space agency, announced its "space tug". For just a basic idea it is a term used for a spacecraft that transports astronauts or equipment from one orbit to another, and is scheduled to launch on an interplanetary mission in 2030.

The spacecraft's energy module, named "Zeus," is designed to generate enough power to propel heavy cargo through deep space and not only this but it is essentially a mobile nuclear-power plant. But the US desires to put a thermal energy station - a 10-kilowatt reactor coordinated with a lunar lander on the moon ahead of schedule as of 2027. Up until now, nonetheless, NASA has just sent one atomic reactor to space, on a satellite in 1965. And the other rockets similar to the Mars Curiosity and Perseverance rovers are also atomic fueled, however they don't utilize a reactor. Meanwhile, Russia has put more than 30 reactors in space. And the "Zeus" module would be the advance from those efforts by using a 500-kilowatt nuclear reactor to propel itself from one planet to the next. Which will use an air-cooled fast neutron reactor because the core temperature is expected to be as high as 1500°C so the cooling system will use a mixture of helium and xenon and dissipate heat through a huge heat sink.

Space Journey is all about space exploration and getting in touch with the human curiosity about the outer space. We will cover the most interesting topics about space, galaxies, planets, stars and all other entities, even alien life and civilizations.
