Nuclear Propulsion for Space Missions: Decision Trade-offs and Governance Conditions

Under what conditions could nuclear propulsion be considered for future space missions? This interactive workshop explores mission-level trade-offs, governance constraints, and legitimacy challenges surrounding nuclear propulsion, beyond technical feasibility. Bringing together propulsion experts, system architects, and institutional stakeholders, the session offers a structured space to discuss how such high-impact decisions are assessed, authorised, and communicated within today’s space ecosystem.
