Una volta finita la batteria sarà un pezzo da museo per gli esploratri del prossimo secolo.

Curiosity's power source will use the latest RTG generation built by Boeing, called the "Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator" or MMRTG.[34] Based on classical RTG technology, it represents a more flexible and compact development step,[34] and is designed to produce 125 watts of electrical power from about 2000 watts of thermal power at the start of the mission.[32][33] The MMRTG produces less power over time as its plutonium fuel decays: at its minimum lifetime of 14 years, electrical power output is down to 100 watts.[35][36] The MSL will generate 2.5 kilowatt hours per day compared to the Mars Exploration Rovers which can generate about 0.6 kilowatt hours per day.
Quando qualcuno metterà piede su Marte può essere che ancora scorrazza...

Landing a large mass on Mars is a difficult challenge. The atmosphere is thick enough to prevent rockets being used to provide significant deceleration, as flying into the plume at supersonic speed is notoriously unstable.[84] Also, the atmosphere is too thin for parachutes and aerobraking alone to be effective. [84] Although some previous missions have used airbags to cushion the shock of landing, the MSL is too large for this to be an option.
