The Torrance startup will test its electricity-producing Mark-1 reactor in 2027 and demonstrate its R1-S design on the ground before integrating it with a spacecraft. The award aligns with US targets to put nuclear reactors in orbit as early as 2028 and on the lunar surface by 2030.
Snap originally launched SPECS in June as a consumer device. It is now targeting retail, manufacturing and field operations, where hands-free access to company data may give workers a clearer reason to put them on.

The six-year contract secures 460 megawatts of AI processing capacity at a West Virginia campus running Nvidia's next-generation chips.
