NASA’s Human Exploration Rover Challenge features an engineering design challenge to engage students in the next phase of human space exploration. The annual event challenges students to create a human-powered vehicle designed to traverse the simulated surface of another world and complete mission tasks along the way. Student teams design, build and test technologies that enable rovers to perform in a variety of environments.
