What is the voltage of the power supply and batteries?
Although battery capacity is given in amp-hours, to understand the capacity for work we must also know the voltage. Harmony's Dave (talk) 22:20, 4 May 2020 (UTC) Dave sanatogan@gmail.com--Harmony's Dave (talk) 22:20, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Image cleanup and soil to regolith
I've gone through and removed quite a lot of images from the article, as it was definitely getting overloaded with indiscriminate images. The article still feels somewhat clogged, though the remaining images mostly illustrate the concepts they're discussing so I don't want to be too heavy-handed. There's also recently been a move of Martian Soil to Martian regolith, and I've updated the article to reflect that. There's some technical nuance between soils and regolith. Since all (Martian) soils are regolith but not all regolith are soils, I've updated the text to use "regolith" in most places where soil was used.
I don't know if anyone else feels like trying to clean up some of the usage of images, or choosing different representative images in the gallery at the end, but hopefully this is a better starting position than was there before. I think the mission track was actually useful, but it was long out of date and worked into the article by slapping an image at the end, which didn't really work very well.
