Shortly after launch, SpaceX confirmed stage separation. The booster is scheduled to make a controlled splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico.
The mission marks the debut flight of the next-generation Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy booster, powered by an upgraded version of the Raptor engine and launched from a newly designed pad at Starbase.
According to SpaceX, the primary objective of the flight test is to evaluate the performance of these upgraded systems in a real flight environment for the first time.
SpaceX launched the 12th flight test of its giant Starship rocket on Friday.
Officials say the success of this plan depends heavily on Rwanda’s long-term ambition to develop nuclear energy capacity of 600 megawatts by 2030 and up to 1.5 gigawatts by 2050, which is expected to provide the stable, high-volume electricity needed to support energy-intensive sectors such as data centers, mining, and advanced manufacturing.
Global demand for artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital services is rapidly increasing, placing unprecedented pressure on electricity systems worldwide. Experts estimate that by 2030, AI could contribute up to $15 trillion to the global economy, but this growth depends on reliable energy infrastructure.
Data centers, which operate continuously to store and process information, are among the fastest-growing sources of electricity demand. In 2024, global data center consumption reached roughly 415 terawatt-hours and is projected to double by 2030.
Major technology companies including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta continue to expand infrastructure investments to meet this rising demand.
Various officials discussed the importance of nuclear energy in technology and mining operations at the recent Nuclear Energy Innovation Summit on Africa (NEISA) held in Kigali.
Industrial sectors competing for electricity
Beyond digital systems, heavy industries also place significant pressure on electricity supply. Mining and mineral processing operations require continuous and stable power, particularly in processes such as smelting, which can reach temperatures of up to 1,600°C.
Global firms such as Rio Tinto and Alcoa consume large amounts of electricity across their industrial operations, often at scales far beyond the current generation capacity of many developing economies.
Rwanda currently produces electricity in the range of hundreds of megawatts, highlighting a significant gap between existing supply and the requirements of large-scale industrial and digital expansion.
Nuclear energy positioned as long-term solution
Nuclear power is being considered as a key solution to meet this growing demand due to its ability to provide continuous, high-output, low-emission electricity.
Unlike intermittent renewable sources, nuclear plants deliver stable baseload power suitable for industries that cannot afford interruptions, such as data centers and mineral processing facilities.
One kilogram of uranium, for example, can generate energy equivalent to thousands of tons of coal, without producing greenhouse gas emissions during operation.
Senior officials, including Minister of ICT and Innovation Paula Ingabire and Rwanda Mines, Petroleum and Gas Board CEO Alice Uwase, have emphasized that Rwanda’s digital and mining ambitions are closely tied to the availability of stable electricity.
Minister Paula Ingabire said that Rwanda plans to develop a $5 billion data center.
Officials note that nuclear projects require substantial upfront investment and long payback periods, making clear financing models and guaranteed demand essential for viability.
According to Ingabire, nuclear energy becomes more attractive to investors when 60%–70% of generated electricity is secured through long-term contracts with large industrial users rather than reliance on government off-take alone.
Mining and telecommunications expansion driving demand
Rwanda’s mining sector, which employs more than 90,000 people, is increasingly focused on value-added processing of minerals such as gold, coltan, and tin. However, limited electricity supply has constrained further industrial expansion, forcing some operations to rely on costly backup generators.
At the same time, telecommunications infrastructure is expanding rapidly. By the end of 2025, Rwanda had deployed 1,781 mobile network towers and nearly 25,000 kilometers of fiber-optic infrastructure.
Government projections indicate that more than 2,500 towers will be required to achieve full national coverage, further increasing electricity demand across the sector.
The CEO of the Rwanda Mines, Petroleum and Gas Board, Alice Uwase, noted that several large-scale mining projects require nuclear energy to sustain continued operations.
Officials argue that combining reliable nuclear energy with large-scale data infrastructure could position Rwanda as a regional hub for digital services. Even a 5-megawatt data center requires tens of millions of kilowatt-hours annually, highlighting the scale of energy required to support the sector.
Global technology firms such as Amazon, Google, and others continue to prioritize locations with stable, clean, and uninterrupted electricity supply, factors Rwanda aims to strengthen through its long-term energy strategy.
Data centers are among the most electricity-intensive infrastructure systems.
The comet, officially named C/2025 K1 (ATLAS), was not the original object researchers intended to observe. According to researchers from Auburn University, technical challenges forced them to switch to another target, only for the comet to suddenly split during observation.
A comet is a giant icy object made of frozen gases, dust and rock that travels through space. Scientists consider comets to be ancient remains from the birth of the solar system billions of years ago. When they move close to the Sun, heat causes their ice to melt, creating bright glowing tails visible from Earth.
Research professor John Noonan said the team only realized what had happened after reviewing Hubble’s images the next day. Instead of seeing one comet, they found four separate pieces.
The researchers explained that the comet likely broke apart after passing very close to the Sun, where extreme heat and pressure weaken such icy bodies. Before splitting, the comet was estimated to be about eight kilometers wide.
According to the scientists, the breakup may help reveal ancient material hidden inside the comet for billions of years, giving researchers a better understanding of how the solar system formed.
The study also revealed another mystery. Scientists expected the comet to brighten immediately after splitting, but the increase in brightness happened more slowly than expected.
The comet fragments are now drifting farther away from Earth and are unlikely to ever return to the solar system.
This diagram shows the path the long-period comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS), or K1 for short, took as it swung past the Sun and began its journey out of the Solar System. On November 10, 2025, Hubble captured the inset image of the fragmenting comet. Hubble took this image just a month after K1’s closest approach to the Sun, called perihelion. During perihelion, a comet experiences its most intense heating and maximum stress. Just past perihelion is when some long-period comets like K1 tend to fall apart. K1’s perihelion was inside Mercury’s orbit, about one-third the distance of the Earth from the Sun. This is the first time Hubble has witnessed a comet so early in the process of breaking up.

The agreement was signed by Rwanda’s Minister of Infrastructure, Jimmy Gasore, and IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi during the Nuclear Energy Innovation Summit for Africa (NEISA 2026) held in Kigali.
Under the partnership, Rwanda will receive technical and institutional support in key areas such as energy planning, infrastructure development, workforce training, stakeholder engagement, financing, and capacity building. The cooperation is intended to help the country prepare for potential nuclear power deployment in the coming years.
The signing came shortly after Rwanda received a report from the IAEA confirming its transition to Phase Two of its nuclear power programme. This stage focuses on preparatory activities ahead of a possible government decision to proceed with the contracting and construction of a nuclear power plant.
Phase Two also involves the establishment of key institutions, strengthening human resource capacity, and the development of legal and regulatory frameworks required to support nuclear energy implementation.
The agreement was signed by Rwanda’s Minister of Infrastructure, Jimmy Gasore, and IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi during the Nuclear Energy Innovation Summit for Africa (NEISA 2026) held in Kigali.
Rwanda completed Phase One of the programme in March following an Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review (INIR) mission conducted by the IAEA. The assessment evaluated the country’s readiness to begin a nuclear energy programme and identified areas that still require further development.
The INIR process is part of the IAEA Milestones Approach, which guides countries through structured phases of nuclear infrastructure development, from initial consideration through to construction and operation. Phase One focuses on early planning steps, including feasibility studies and defining a national position on nuclear energy.
Small Modular Reactors are being considered as a key option for Rwanda due to their flexibility, relatively lower upfront costs, and smaller land requirements compared to conventional nuclear power plants.
Rwanda’s leadership says nuclear energy is expected to play a central role in supporting industrial growth and strengthening long-term energy security.
President Paul Kagame emphasised the importance of the milestone, saying:
“Rwanda is pleased to have successfully completed the IAEA’s Phase 1 Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review (INIR). We intend to have nuclear energy operational by the early 2030s, and this assessment confirms that we are on track. For Africa, energy is not simply a development issue. It is the foundation of industrial growth and competitiveness.”
Rwanda aims to generate up to 1.5 gigawatts of electricity from nuclear power by 2050.
Under the partnership, Rwanda will receive technical and institutional support in key areas such as energy planning, infrastructure development, workforce training, stakeholder engagement, financing, and capacity building.
IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi highlighted the broader continental context of nuclear development, noting:
“Africa’s energy future will be built by Africans, and the IAEA is ready to continue supporting countries across the continent, from infrastructure development and capacity building to new technologies such as SMRs.”
With Phase Two now underway and the new agreement in place, Rwanda’s nuclear energy programme is entering a more advanced stage of preparation, marking a significant step toward potential future deployment.
The telescope is expected to help scientists search for distant planets, study dark matter and dark energy, and explore parts of the universe that remain poorly understood.
NASA had previously planned to launch the mission no later than May 2027, but officials now say development is progressing faster than expected.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman described the project as an example of successful cooperation between government institutions and private companies.
The Roman Space Telescope is designed to capture enormous areas of space using high-resolution infrared imaging. Scientists say its technology will allow researchers to study the universe on a much larger scale than before.
During its planned five-year mission, the telescope is expected to collect around 20,000 terabytes of scientific data. Researchers hope to use the information to study nearly 100,000 planets outside the solar system, known as exoplanets, along with hundreds of millions of galaxies and billions of stars.
Scientists also believe the mission could uncover unusual cosmic events and objects never previously observed.
NASA plans to launch the telescope aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The mission is being managed by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center with support from several research institutions, including the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Space Telescope Science Institute.
Experts say the telescope could provide major new insights into how the universe formed and evolved over billions of years.

Speaking at the Nuclear Energy Innovation Summit for Africa 2026 at the Kigali Convention Centre on Tuesday, Kagame said Rwanda’s successful completion of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Phase I Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review marked a key milestone in its nuclear energy roadmap.
President Kagame received the report from Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), following an assessment process with experts that advances Rwanda’s nuclear ambitions to the next stage.
Rwanda aims to generate up to 1.5 gigawatts of electricity from nuclear power by 2050.
“We intend to have nuclear energy operational by the early 2030s. This assessment confirms that we are on track,” Kagame said.
The summit, held under the theme “Powering Africa’s Future: Turning Nuclear Energy Ambition into Investable Reality,” brought together heads of state, international organisations, investors and technical experts to discuss how Africa can scale up reliable energy systems to support long-term economic transformation.
Kagame said Africa’s development prospects depend heavily on solving persistent energy shortages, noting that modern manufacturing, mineral processing, digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence and advanced healthcare all require stable and reliable electricity.
“For Africa, energy is not simply a development issue. It is the foundation of industrial growth and competitiveness,” he said. “Countries that cannot meet this demand will struggle to compete.”
He emphasised that Rwanda views nuclear energy as a critical component of its long-term energy strategy, with particular focus on small modular reactors (SMRs), which he described as more suitable for African contexts due to their scalability, lower cost and adaptability to smaller power grids.
While reaffirming the importance of renewable energy sources such as solar and hydropower, Kagame cautioned that intermittent supply alone would not be sufficient to meet Africa’s rapidly growing energy needs.
“Renewable energy will remain indispensable, particularly solar and hydro, where Africa has enormous potential. But our economies cannot function efficiently on intermittent supply alone,” he said.
The President also stressed the importance of investment and regulatory certainty in attracting long-term capital into nuclear projects, urging African countries to strengthen governance frameworks and avoid fragmented approaches.
“What Africa cannot afford is fragmentation,” he said. “If countries work in isolation, progress will be slow and far more costly.”
He added that cooperation, regulatory harmonisation, financing mechanisms and regional power integration would be essential to ensure successful deployment across the continent.
Faure Gnassingbé, President of the Council of Ministers of Togo, called for Africa to move beyond discussion and take concrete steps toward implementation, describing the summit as a defining moment for the continent’s energy future.
“There are moments in the life of a continent when it is no longer enough to merely observe reality; we must shape the future,” Gnassingbé said.
He argued that while renewable energy remains important, it cannot alone support Africa’s industrialisation, digital expansion and growing demand for baseload power.
“Manufacturing industries, data centres, artificial intelligence, and Africa’s digital future require continuous, decarbonised, and competitive baseload electricity,” he said.
Gnassingbé highlighted Togo’s own progress, including the adoption of nuclear energy legislation, the establishment of an atomic energy commission and ongoing exploration of small modular reactors for off-grid regions. He also stressed the importance of African-led development.
“African nuclear energy will not be imported. It will be designed, operated, and governed by Africans, for Africans,” he said.
Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan also emphasised regional cooperation, saying nuclear energy should complement rather than replace renewable sources in Africa’s energy mix.
She noted that Tanzania plans to develop 1,200 megawatts of nuclear capacity within the next decade and has already established a national implementation body aligned with International Atomic Energy Agency standards.
“Nuclear energy should not be viewed as competing with renewable energy, but rather as a complementary part of a broader effort to build resilient, sustainable and reliable energy systems,” Hassan said.
Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said Africa’s energy challenges are central to global development priorities, noting that nearly half a billion people on the continent still lack access to electricity.
He said recent international agreements with development banks, including the World Bank and regional institutions, are helping remove long-standing financing barriers to nuclear energy projects.
“For many years, finance was the red line separating Africa from the benefits of nuclear energy. But this has changed,” Grossi said.
He praised Rwanda’s regulatory progress, including institutions such as the Rwanda Atomic Energy Board and the Rwanda Nuclear Authority, calling them essential for ensuring safety and investor confidence.
Dr. Lassina Zerbo, Chairman of the Rwanda Atomic Energy Board (RAEB), said the summit reflects a shift from ambition to implementation, urging Africa to focus on building investable and bankable nuclear projects.
“Africa should not simply aspire to have a seat at the table. Africa must help shape the table itself,” Zerbo said.
He highlighted the potential of small and micro modular reactors as transformative technologies for Africa’s future energy systems and announced the creation of a Global Coalition for Nuclear Philanthropy aimed at mobilising financing for nuclear development.
As the summit continues over the next two days, Kagame said Rwanda will continue to support continental efforts, emphasising that Africa’s rapidly growing population could become a major economic advantage if matched with sufficient energy infrastructure.
“By 2050, Africa will have the largest workforce in the world,” he said. “The demographic shift can become one of the greatest economic advantages of this century if we prepare for it.”

The high-level gathering brings together continental heads of state, including Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan and Togolese President Faure Gnassingbé, alongside global industry leaders like Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The move comes as the country seeks to expand its electricity generation capacity. The Government of Rwanda estimates that national demand could exceed 5,000 megawatts in the coming decades, compared to the roughly 406 megawatts currently available.
To help bridge that gap, Rwanda has opted to pursue Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology, arguing that it offers a more practical and scalable solution for the country than conventional large-scale nuclear plants.
President Paul Kagame, while speaking at the Nuclear Energy Summit in Paris, France, in March this year, described nuclear energy as a key pillar for powering the country’s industrial growth while meeting its climate responsibilities.
“We have decided to make nuclear central to our strategy,” Kagame said. “It will diversify our energy mix while providing the stability required for industrial growth and long-term transformation.”

Unlike hydroelectric dams or fossil-fuel-powered plants, nuclear reactors require relatively small amounts of fuel to produce substantial amounts of electricity. Uranium, the fuel used in nuclear power generation, releases heat through a process known as nuclear fission, in which atomic nuclei split apart. The resulting heat is used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity.
According to energy experts, a single gram of uranium can generate enough energy to produce one megawatt of electricity per day, roughly equivalent to the output generated by three tons of coal.
Why Rwanda chose small modular reactors
Rwanda began studying the feasibility of nuclear power in 2017. Early assessments concluded that constructing a large conventional nuclear plant would be difficult due to the country’s limited land area and infrastructure constraints.
Officials noted that a traditional 1,000-megawatt reactor would exceed the absorption capacity of Rwanda’s current electricity grid. In addition, large nuclear facilities typically require extensive exclusion zones of up to 40 kilometers surrounding the site for safety purposes, a condition difficult to meet in Rwanda’s densely populated landscape.
As a result, policymakers turned to Small Modular Reactors, a newer generation of nuclear technology designed to operate on a smaller footprint while maintaining significant electricity output.
SMRs generally require less land, in some cases around 20 hectares, and are designed with passive safety systems intended to automatically shut down reactors in the event of technical failure.
International partnerships taking shape
Rwanda has already entered into several international partnerships aimed at supporting its nuclear energy ambitions.
In 2018, the country launched cooperation with Russia focused on establishing a nuclear research centre that could eventually support domestic nuclear energy production.
In August 2024, Rwanda signed a cooperation agreement with the U.S.-based company Nano Nuclear Energy Inc to collaborate on advanced nuclear technologies intended for electricity generation.
Earlier, the government also signed an agreement with Dual Fluid Energy Inc to test nuclear reactor technologies that could potentially be deployed in Rwanda. The broader objective is for nuclear energy to contribute approximately 1.5 gigawatts of Rwanda’s projected 5-gigawatt electricity demand by 2050.
Site selection and safety assessments underway
Authorities have already identified preliminary locations for future reactor installations based on visible geographic conditions. However, detailed scientific assessments are still underway to determine whether the sites meet international safety requirements.
Among the key considerations are seismic stability, water availability, and population density. Nuclear facilities require reliable water sources for cooling and steam generation and are generally located away from densely populated areas to minimise potential risks.
Multi-billion-dollar investment
The nuclear program is expected to require substantial financial investment.
Although final construction costs have not yet been determined, Rwanda estimates that each megawatt of nuclear generating capacity could cost approximately $4 million to develop.
At that rate, achieving the country’s target of 1,500 megawatts of nuclear-generated electricity could require investments approaching $6 billion, though officials acknowledge that the estimate remains preliminary.
Rwanda is also investing in workforce development to support the emerging sector.
In 2024, reports indicated that more than 200 Rwandan students were selected for overseas training in nuclear science and engineering disciplines. The initiative is intended to build a domestic pool of specialists capable of operating and maintaining future nuclear facilities.
Initial plans focused on deploying a single SMR unit capable of generating approximately 200 megawatts of electricity. Current projections, however, envision four such modules, each producing around 200 megawatts.
The expansion would significantly increase demand for specialised personnel, with estimates suggesting that more than 400 additional experts will eventually be required as the sector grows.
Officials say additional reactor modules could be introduced progressively as Rwanda’s energy needs continue to expand.
Rwanda is advancing plans to integrate nuclear energy into its long-term development strategy, with ambitions to generate up to 1.5 gigawatts of electricity from nuclear power by 2050.
One of the festival’s major attractions was screenings of SHENZHOU 13, China’s first 8K movie filmed in space. Based on the six-month orbital mission of the Shenzhou-13 astronauts aboard China’s space station, the film showcased panoramic views of Earth and intimate scenes of life in orbit.
The project was filmed using fully domestically developed 8K ultra-high-definition cameras, marking a milestone in China’s space-based filmmaking capabilities.
China’s participation in the festival also extended to advanced medical technology.
In a keynote lecture titled “Intelligent Hybrid Operating Room,” Wang Lei from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences introduced Bulgarian audiences to international innovations in artificial intelligence-assisted surgical and interventional operating rooms. He also presented the latest Chinese research integrating operating room systems, robotics and surgeon information technologies.
Speaking at the event on Saturday, Chinese Ambassador to Bulgaria Dai Qingli highlighted the expanding scientific and technological cooperation between China and Bulgaria in recent years.
“From the vastness of space to the frigid Antarctic, from frontier sectors such as quantum information and artificial intelligence to areas close to people’s daily lives such as agriculture and health, scientists and engineers from China and Bulgaria are joining hands in an increasingly wide range of fields,” she said.
According to the organizer, the Beautiful Science Foundation, the festival aims to promote science and technology through discussions, demonstrations, workshops and interdisciplinary events connecting science and art, while bringing together leading Bulgarian and international researchers.
