The company’s goal is to collaborate on its micro-nuclear reactor project, which it intends to send to the moon in the early 2030s.
The UK-based aerospace manufacturer is currently in discussions with potential partners. These discussions revolve around launch and landing services, and lunar transportation, according to Katie Jarman, Rolls-Royce (OTC:RYCEY) Assistant Chief Engineer for Space.
