Water-Prospecting Lunar Rover Prototype Built

Since your clicking finger may be broken, here is a relevant section of the article to help you out:

To find the ice, a rover thus must operate as close to the dark poles as possible, but not so far that it can't use solar arrays for power, Whittaker said. Polaris thus has three large solar arrays, arranged vertically to capture light from low on the horizon. The solar arrays will be capable of an average of 250 watts of electrical power.

Funny how they did actually consider this before designing a multi-million dollar robot. It looks like maybe they did complete Physics 101.
