Mars represents the first big extraterrestrial step of mankind. This is a very important historic moment representing the beginning of the cosmic age. This step and the steps that follow cannot be done without strong, compact reliable power sources. Nuclear power is the strongest contender for life support systems on Mars. The importance and advantages of nuclear power sources is shown in Fig. 9.1. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
