Russia is expected to announce the prototype nuclear reactor to be used as a space engine in 2018. Russia has been developing a transport and energy unit based on a megawatt-class nuclear propulsion system since 2010. The unit can be used for a variety of space missions, including exploration of the moon and distant planets.
