China Shows Off Nuclear Powered Lunar Rover

3. April 2007, 22:00 UhrSteve

The Chinese Government is planning to send an orbiter named Change-1 to the moon by 2012. The Chinese have stated that a primary goal of Change-1 is to make it "better" than the early US and Russian rovers. The average speed of this rover is 100m or 328ft per hour. The rover is nuclear powered, which will allow it to operate for a longer period of time, and use more energy than conventional battery based systems. American rovers have traditionally run on lithium-ion batteries for safety and enviormental reasons. Source: Gadget Lab
