Our Crowdfunding Groups
UNC Charlotte's Astrobotics team is a group of 6 multi-disciplinary engineering students who will be competing in the 2023 NASA Astrobotics Competition at the Kennedy Space Center. The competition is now part of NASA’s Artemis Student Challenge and the Artemis program which will focus on lunar exploration. Individual bios of team members are available on the home page.
This project’s main goal is to compete and win NASA’s Lunabotics competition, hosted at Kennedy Space Center. We are tasked to create a lunar rover able to navigate autonomously and dig up lunar simulant, transport, and deposit it into a designated drop-off zone. The team members get a once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of NASA’s research and design process. For more competition details check out the link below.
