A liberal recently yelled at me that solar power IS reliable power. All you need is a few batteries... fta: The location near a cliff, however, is not ideal, Bibring said Thursday. We are just in the shadow of a cliff, he said. We are in a shadow permanently, and that is part of the problem. But the shadowy location means that its getting only 1½ hours of sunlight a day on its panels, rather than the 6 to 7 hours that mission managers had hoped for. The science plan is now being rewritten to maximize scientific results, given the limited amount of battery power. The solar arrays are not really illuminated, so we dont know how long we will operate, said Rosetta mission manager Fred Jansen.
