Rosetta and Juno might be models for some future missions; not so many years ago some engineers would have claimed that a solar-powered spacecraft operating beyond the Asteroid Belt would be impractical. Perhaps we'll see spacecraft with small nuclear sources for heat and large,David S. F.

Doesn't seem like DOE can produce Pu-238 quickly enough in sufficient quantities to do what we did from 1970-2015. Very curious to see what's next as a power source or if Pu-238 production could be increased. On the bright side, 16 months of Pluto download data to look forward to.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639020344662007725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633940777526327846.post-56338599272912087442015-07-15T04:40:25.777-07:002015-07-15T04:40:25.777-07:00I wasn't aware of this planned mission thanks ...I wasn't aware of this planned mission thanks for postingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10146281035285784892noreply@blogger.com
