NASA may send sail-powered rover to Venus


NASA is considering sending a sail-powered robotic rover to Venus that could use the planet's high wind speeds and hot temperatures for exploration.
The wind-sailing rover would not only be able to move around Venus, but would also have electronics inside able to withstand the temperatures of 450 degrees Celsius.
The rover, nicknamed Zephyr, would spend most of its time on Venus doing analysis on the ground.
