U r correct. I believe the power came from decay of isotopes. I think for a manned mission to Mars, and its precursor missions, the amount of energy required to electrolise hydrogen and oxygen from water or ice would necessitate a reactor. I guess the hydrogen would then be stored in a fuel cell to mimise risks of containing it in pressurised liquid or gas form. I guess we will see some detailed roadmaps in the next few months, suggesting what to do with the Martian water/hydrogen.
