May 2nd

For final section meeting of the year we are excited to have the UAH Moonbuggy Team 1 as our guest speakers.  They are also known as the 2012 NASA Great Moonbuggy Race College Division Champions!  They came in first place with a time of 4 min and 3 sec.  They also won the "Best Design Report" competition and NASA has asked if they could post the report online so that future teams from around the world can learn proper design report preparation.  This team performed with excellence and professionalism during every phase of the competition and they will all be outstanding engineers!

Students are required to design a vehicle that addresses a series of engineering problems that are similar to problems faced by the original Moonbuggy team.

Each Moonbuggy will be human powered and carry two students, one female and one male, over a half-mile simulated lunar terrain course including "craters", rocks, "lava" ridges, inclines and "lunar" soil.

Check out the entire list of winning teams at Nasa Moonbuggy Winners. And the list of awards for which the students competed. Moonbuggy Awards
