Wind Power for Mars Lander Mission

I'm going to venture a guess that it won't work, but I could be wrong. Plus the winters on Mars are much more severe than winters here in Canada.... Yup, it's either solar or nuclear power for a Mars sample return mission. Probably nuclear.

        Wind is an excellent conservation resource - bluh - 6/23/2001 3:03:27 AM

        I was referring to the capital cost - bluh - 6/24/2001 1:16:21 AM

        Yes. That is what I am saying. - bluh - 6/24/2001 1:38:48 AM
