The Curiosity rover landed on Mars on August 6, 2012, and is currently exploring the surface. Curiosity uses a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) to provide power for all operations. The Curiosity RTG has a maximum output of 110 watts [W], and loses 2000 watts [W] as heat. By comparison, Viking 1 spacecraft launched in 1975. The Viking 1 has an input power of 0.75 horsepower [hp] and loses 525 watts [W] to heat. Which device is more efficient? : Click the icon to view the convertion table for power.
