Earlier today, Zeno Power announced the completion of the final design review for an americium-241–fueled radioisotope power system (RPS) developed for Harmonia RPS, a NASA Artemis Tipping Point project.

The Harmonia RPS project will now begin the build and fabrication phase. Zeno plans to complete a terrestrial demonstration of an electrically heated system in early 2027 and is aiming for flight qualification for lunar missions beginning in 2028.
