NASA is debuting a new engineering design challenge to
engage students worldwide in the next phase of human space exploration. The
NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge is a more complex follow-on to the
successful NASA Great Moonbuggy Race.
The competition is open to high school and college students
and challenges them to create a vehicle designed to traverse the simulated
surface of another world. Registration closes Jan. 10 for international teams
and Feb. 7 for U.S. teams.
