Abstract

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), in preparation for future Artemis missions, annually hosts an intercollegiate engineering competition between roughly 40 universities from all around the country to gather data on which rover designs are best suited to collecting and depositing lunar regolith. Our subteam’s mission was to design and fabricate a drivetrain capable of reliably traversing the lunar terrain while also supporting the weight of the mining subsystem, all while complying with the guidelines specified in NASA’s 2026 Lunabotics Challenge guidebook. After weeks of meticulous design and analysis, the team held its Preliminary Design Review upon which the design was approved for fabrication.
