Re: Nuclear power rovers
Maybe I'm getting a little forgetful. I thought I saw somewhere (either here or Nuclearspace.com) that the two Martian rovers would be powered by "16 nuclear pellets"? ???
I just read an article over at ABCNEWS.com
http://abcnews.go.com/wire/SciTech/reut … 26_87.html that's states they will run on solar power. Could someone verify this information? Thanks.
P.S. If they did run by an energy source other than solar (Nuclear power perhaps 
) NASA wouldn't worry about running a mission just during the Martian summer!
One day...we will get to Mars and the rest of the galaxy!! Hopefully it will be by Nuclear power!!!
