The radioactive unit will help to deliver Europe’s first Mars rover to the planet’s surface.
Can I ask how everyone personally feels about using nuclear material for space exploration? For the rovers heating elements it will be just a couple of grams but for generating electricity via a RTG a spacecraft would require several kilograms of radioactive material.
