About MSL's hibernation, I thought waste heat from the rover's RTG was to be transferred to a circulating fluid that would keep MSL critical systems warm at all times. Is the temperature of the southern sites too low even for this heating system, or am I in error about having active heating onboard?

Is the temperature of the southern sites too low even for this [RTG] heating system, or am I in error about having active heating onboard? Read page 28 and following in http://hirise.seti.org/MSL_Landing_Sites/W...s_Steltzner.pdf The RTG heat only warms the interior; the instruments and actuators on the outside have to be warmed as needed by heaters. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
