NVS-01

NVS-01 is a military spy satellite developed for use by the Canadian Forces. It is a massive satellite, with radar, infrared and photographic capabilities, all powered by an on-board pebble-bed nuclear reactor with helium cooling which vented heat into space. The satellite was launched on May 23, 2032 and began sending data to the Space Command building at National Defense HQ in Ottawa on May 26. A second satellite would be launched for the same purpose in 2033. Both satellites cost nearly $1 billion dollars to develop.
