$HYLN NASA has announced a new partnership with Hyliion, a leading provider of electrified powertrain solutions, to establish a sustainable power source on the Moon. The collaboration will adapt Hyliion’s innovative Karno™ generator, a high-efficiency system that converts fuel into electricity, for use in lunar exploration. NASA's interest lies in the generator's potential to run on lunar resources, such as methane derived from the Moon’s regolith or water ice.
"This partnership is a significant leap forward in our efforts to create a long-term, sustainable presence on the Moon," said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.
The generator’s sealed system and modular design are well-suited for the harsh lunar environment and could be scaled to support a permanent lunar base. Initial testing will focus on adapting the Karno generator to withstand the challenges of spaceflight, with a potential deployment on a future Artemis mission.
