Recently, a small satellite named BOHR, equipped with a new nuclear power supply system, successfully entered orbit. Developed by City Labs in Florida, USA, the satellite aims to validate a spacecraft power supply method that does not rely on solar energy, exploring new energy pathways for deep space and permanently shadowed region missions. On July 7, the BOHR CubeSat was launched aboard SpaceX's Transporter-17 rideshare mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The mission, executed by a Falcon 9 rocket, carried a total of 81 payloads, with separation and deployment completed approximately 50 minutes after launch.
