OSC: Rover Exploration Challenge
Embark on an expedition to determine whether a planet could support human life. Experience what it is like to be a space scientist or engineer and remotely operate an analogue rover in this simulated mission.
Form a team of planetary scientists led by researchers from the Planetary Volatiles Laboratory at York University. Explore your mystery planet using instruments, like anemometers and Geiger counters, similar to those used on rover missions to Mars.
