Miami-based City Labs achieves a first for commercial nuclear power in space
The proliferation of nuclear power in space got a little more real Tuesday with the launch of a small satellite developed by a Florida-based company specializing in nuclear micro-power technology.

But you have to start somewhere. The satellite from Miami-based City Labs is named BOHR, short for Betavoltaic Orbital High-R
