"The rover will probably be powered by RTG's as the weight of a solar cell and power storage system would be prohibitive, and a solar cell system would not work very well at low Martian latitudes or in dusty conditions."

== "Seven minutes of terror" redirect ==
WHAT are RTG's?
 
Rocket Towed Grenades?
"{{-r|Seven minutes of terror}}" currently redirects to a section of this article. However, it is now ambiguous, since the term has been used again for the [[InSight]] mission. It should probably be a disambiguation page or perhaps [[WP:RFD|not exist at all]]. Suggestions? --[[User:SoledadKabocha|SoledadKabocha]] ([[User talk:SoledadKabocha|talk]]) 06:06, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
Rwandan Tree Gorillas?
:I notice that the ''InSight'' article doesn't yet mention the term; we shouldn't take any action until it does. --[[User:SoledadKabocha|SoledadKabocha]] ([[User talk:SoledadKabocha|talk]]) 02:17, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
Recycled Tarantula Gases?
::Nor do the [[Mars atmospheric entry]] or [[Mars landing]] articles specifically mention justification for a seven-minute interval.
Really Thick Glasses?
::I was not seriously recommending either a disambiguation or an RFD. A hatnote would be more appropriate, ''after'' relevant content is added to one of said other articles. --[[User:SoledadKabocha|SoledadKabocha]] ([[User talk:SoledadKabocha|talk]]) 02:42, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 
== AutoNav not mentioned ==
 
Neither the Computer section or the Mobility systems section mention the AutoNav software on-board Curiosity. Sadly it has been less used since the wheel damage required avoidance of sharp rocks.[https://www.marsdaily.com/reports/Perseverance_Mars_rover_to_use_AutoNav_in_new_self_driving_mode_999.html ] Mars 2020/Perseverance has upgraded AutoNav software. - [[User:Rod57|Rod57]] ([[User talk:Rod57|talk]]) 12:23, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
