Past Centennial Challenges
-
Power Beaming
This challenge was a practical demonstration of wireless power transmission.
-
Strong Tether
This was a challenge in materials engineering in which the tether provided by each team is subjected to a pull test.
-
Green Flight
The Green Flight Challenge was for super-efficient, quiet, and safe aircraft that could average at least 100 mph on a 200-mile flight while achieving an efficiency equivalent to at least 200 passenger miles per gallon.
-
Lunar Lander
The Lunar Lander Challenge involved building and flying a rocket-powered vehicle that simulated the flight of a vehicle on the moon.
-
Regolith Excavation
In this challenge, teams designed and built robotic machines to excavate simulated lunar soil (regolith).
-
Astronaut Glove
The Astronaut Glove Challenge sought improvements to glove design that would reduce the effort needed to perform tasks in space and improve the durability of the glove.
-
MoonROx
In this challenge, teams were required to generate breathable oxygen from simulated lunar soil.
