Interested in finding out how nuclear battery of the Curiosity Rover works? see: http://www.about-robots.com/curiosity-rover-nuclear-battery.html "Why didn't they send the Mars Science Laboratory with solar panels like the 2 previous generations of Mars rovers?
In short, NASA wanted to make this mission better and faster. The 2 main drawbacks of solar panels is that they don't work during the night, and they don't work during the Martian winter. One consequence is that the Mars Exploration Rovers couldn't work for more that half of the time."
