NASA Rover Project

NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge · Huntsville, AL

The NASA Human Exploration Challenge is a competition that requires teams to design and build a human-powered rover to compete in an 8-minute obstacle course at their facility in Huntsville, Alabama April 17th-18th.

The rover must be able to traverse the simulated surfaces of another world, support the load of 2 riders, and meet other specifications as outlined by the guidebook.

As Point of Contact (POC) of our team of 7, my primary tasks were to communicate all part orders with the funding administrator for the college of engineering and ensure that the team stayed within budget. I also led the SolidWorks design of the rover and coordinated with team members from each subsystem to ensure that the subsystems tied into the overall design.
