Don’t know, but it’s about 1.1 Michael Moores.

The W87 warhead (300 kilotons), built for the MX missle, weighs in between 440 and 600 lbs and fits in a space less than 6x2 feet. However, the 1967 Outer Space Treaty bans nuclear weapons in space, where space is generally understood to begin at an altitude of 100 km.
