The electrical systems were entirely powered by the LiSO2 batteries. solar cells only there for tests.
apart from the Low-Temperature Heat Pipe Experiment Package (HEPP) (S1001) (see results ref above - p233)
The batteries are variously described as Lithium Sulfide, Lithium sulfate, or LiSO2 - very strange.
One long face (Row 3) was designated 'leading', and the other (Row 9) 'trailing'
[2] - How was this orientation maintained ?
post-retrieval data indicated it yawed about 10° towards row 10
Which experiments benefited from the longer duration, and which suffered ?
