About the University Rover Challenge (URC)
The University Rover Challenge (URC) is an annual competition sponsored by Mars Society held at the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah. University teams are challenged to create rovers that can perform various challenges in a simulated Martian environment. It is one of the world’s largest space vehicle/rover competitions with 84 teams from 13 countries registered just this year. Mission tasks vary year-to-year but typically focus on autonomous terrain traversal, habitat equipment servicing, presence-of-life extraction and detection, and extreme cargo retrieval and deposition. More information is available at their website.
