Competing on theGlobal Stage
From Utah's Mars Desert to Turkey's challenging terrain, we test our rovers against the world's best teams in prestigious international competitions.
View Our ResultsUniversity Rover Challenge
The premier international Mars rover competition bringing together university teams from around the globe to test their rovers in Mars-like conditions.
Competition Missions
Science Mission
25 pointsCollect and analyze Martian soil samples for potential life signs while considering geological context. Teams must demonstrate scientific methodology and equipment operation.
Extreme Retrieval and Delivery
25 pointsAssist astronauts with field tasks including object retrieval and navigation through difficult terrain. Tests rover mobility and manipulation capabilities.
Equipment Servicing Mission
25 pointsDemonstrate dexterity by delivering cached samples and performing maintenance on a mock lander. Requires precise robotic arm control.
Autonomous Traversal Mission
25 pointsNavigate autonomously through a series of gates using GPS coordinates and computer vision. No human intervention allowed during execution.
