Kevin Cirilli was on the ground at Vandenberg for the historic SpaceX Transporter-17 launch and sat down with Peter Cabauy, CEO of City Labs, just hours after their satellite reached orbit. City Labs made history as the first private company to launch a commercial nuclear-powered satellite, the BOHR, equipped with their revolutionary NanoTritium betavoltaic battery. This compact nuclear power source delivers reliable electricity for over twenty years without any sunlight or maintenance. Peter shares how the team overcame major regulatory hurdles to become the first to secure FAA approval for a commercial nuclear payload in space. The technology opens the door to persistent power for lunar bases, deep-space missions, and autonomous systems where solar power falls short. This exclusive interview captures the moment commercial nuclear power officially entered orbit and what it means for the future of space exploration.
