Question: After browsing through the KSC Multimedia images of MSL, and looking at the images of the MMRTG lifting, I am perplexed as to why the MMRTG is completley exposed to the atmosphere. For cooling I can understand, but how is any earthly or air particulate contamination not of concern? I hope it was wiped down good with isopropyl alcohol just prior to installation with the rover .
