That 1000 A rating probably assumes some conductive and convective cooling, and earth-surface temperatures.
It'd need to be bigger. And 1000 A isn't much if you're planning to make anything at scale on the Moon.
Great idea though.
- XorNot 5y agoIf you solved constant uninterruptible power though via solar, then you've solved a lot of other expansion problems. So your real challenge is what can be done if you just lay cable over the surface - then you use that power source (and importantly: heating source - lunar night is why rover missions struggle to last over 2 weeks) to power your second-wave rovers which would lay in higher amperage stuff (which would basically just need to in contact with regolith while shielded from sunlight to be cooled).
