Olympus Rover Trials 2020 - 21

The Olympus Rover Trials challenge student teams to design, construct and operate a rover for a habitat construction mission on Mars. Students create a rover concept, trade off performance parameters and pass through a rigorous review process with panels of engineers from the space sector. The competition aims to:

• Challenge students to perform a complex, systems engineering task of the development of a vehicle to a set of real space mission requirements.
• Enable students to apply taught technical skills and learn new ones relevant to a job in the space industry in an applicable project environment.
• Provide students with an opportunity to develop and practice other important and transferable skills, such as teamwork, leadership and project management.
• Foster interest in the activities of the space sector, especially in space engineering and robotics.
