I can't remember what they were for stuff like the ISS and the satellite
from the Discovery, but the Mars Rover panels appeared to be some sort of
lightweight foam-board (about 3/16" thick I believe) with the solar panel design
painted on. I don't remember ever seeing that material used in any sets before,
though I suppose it might have been used in a less traditional set. The
downside is that they will probably be more prone to breakage, but the upside is
that they should sag nearly as much as they would if they were ABS. Also, not
all models shown at Toy Fair have reached their final production stage (such as
the prototype Snowtrooper helmet), so it's possible that these will not be part
of the final design. Highly unlikely (they did look rather finalized), but
possible.
