NASA Testing Betalight Tritium

NASA has tested tritium lights, including Betalight’s advanced gaseous tritium light sources (GTLS), to explore their potential for space and lunar applications. These tests aim to develop reliable radioluminescent lighting solutions that can withstand the extreme conditions of space.

Key objectives include identifying optimal materials for coating, determining ideal sizes and shapes for various lighting needs, and evaluating the lights’ durability under UV exposure, thermal vacuum, and other harsh environments.

NASA envisions utilizing tritium lights for critical tasks such as imaging, docking, tracking, and color indicators on space stations and lunar exploration equipment, emphasizing their unique ability to provide long-term, maintenance-free illumination
