SpaceX makes history with Plutonium-powered space mission! For the first time, SpaceX will launch Plutonium-238 aboard its Falcon Heavy rocket, powering NASA's Dragonfly mission to explore Titan, Saturn's mysterious moon. Titan's thick, methane-rich atmosphere blocks sunlight, making traditional solar power unfeasible. Instead, Plutonium-238 will fuel a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG), allowing the Dragonfly rotorcraft to operate autonomously and explore this distant world. This milestone represents a giant leap for space exploration, with Plutonium playing a critical role in powering the mission’s scientific instruments and propulsion system. The Dragonfly mission is set to launch in July 2028, and SpaceX ensures all safety protocols are in place, guaranteeing the radioactive material remains secure throughout the journey. Plutonium in space—a game-changer for future exploration beyond the limits of sunlight.
