The rover would place a"charging cube" inside the crater, then park on the crater's edge and spread its solar panels against the sun. It would transmit the produced electricity via a cable to the charging cube inside the crater where the exploration rovers could wirelessly connect to it and get the"juice" they need.

Wireless charging, the company added, would work well in the vacuum of space. To increase reliability of the technology, the company is using components developed for Mars rovers, geostationary satellites and deep space probes.
