The NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge has begun, and you can follow @NASA_Marshall on Instagram for behind the scenes images from the challenge.

The Rover Challenge is a new engineering design challenge that will focus on NASA’s current plans to explore planets, moons, asteroids and comets -- all members of the solar system family. The new NASA Rover Challenge (formerly NASA Great Moonbuggy Race) is being held April 10-12, 2014, at the U. S. Space & Rocket Center in Hunstville, Alabama. The challenge will focus on designing, constructing and testing technologies for mobility devices to perform in these different environments, and it will provide valuable experiences that engage students in the technologies and concepts that will be needed in future exploration missions. Rovers will be human-powered and carry two students, one female and one male, over a half-mile obstacle course of simulated extraterrestrial terrain of craters, boulders, ridges, inclines, crevasses and ruts.

The top three winning teams in each division (one High School Division and one College/University Division) will be those having the shortest total times in assembling their rovers and traversing the course. Each team is permitted two runs of the course, and the shortest course time (plus penalties) will be added to the assembly time for the final total event time.

This image shows "the pit" where the Rover Challenge pit crew weld axels, steering columns and other rover structures before teams head to the race starting line!
