John, I really don't think NASA is going to continue using NiMh into 2001 and 2002, especially since cellphone and computer companies have switched to lithium ion and li polymer for their higher performance models. Keep reading your press kits. You may find that NASA will soon be using more modern technology!

Regards, FMK

After reading through the "Mars Wars" posts, I hardly want to post this. But... after looking over the JPL site (thanks for the links), I did notice that the lander is slated to use "Lithium ion" batteries and the rover has LiSOCl2 batteries for back up.

FYI,

Jay
