Add to ORKGLong distance Mars surface exploration by human crews requires pressurized rovers. Rover power generation and energy storage are major logistical issues since fuel storage capacity limits maximum travel range, and fuel is the single largest component by volume in a rover. This study estimates power and energy requirements for a 3-person, 1000 km round-trip vehicle, and compares power and energy source options based on current and near-future technology. Fuel cells are selected as the optimal power source based on durability, flexibility, maintainability, scalability, redundancy, and size. Hydrocarbon fuels are chosen over hydrogen, based on storage volume limitations
