2023 Human Exploration Rover Challenge Day 1
Celebrating its 29th year, NASA’s Human Exploration Rover Challenge (HERC) tasks students from around the world to design, build, and test lightweight, human-powered rovers on a complex obstacle course.
The competition course requires two students, at least one female, to use the student-designed vehicle to traverse a course of approximately one half-mile that includes a simulated field of asteroid debris, boulders, erosion ruts, crevasses, and an ancient streambed. The weight and time requirements for competing rovers encourage compactness, light weight, high performance, and efficiency. As part of the competition, rover entries are tested to ensure they would fit into a lander storage area measuring 5-feet-long by 5-feet-tall by 5-feet-in volume.
