Making Replacement Obstacles for the NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge

Michael Zanetti (ST13), Eric (Todd) Bradley/UCF, and Dennis Gallagher (ST13) supported the MSFC Office of STEM Engagement on 4/3/23 and 4/10/23 at the US Space & Rocket Center’s Aviation Challenge facility for a day and a half for the construction of five new wooden obstacles to be used for the NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge.  These replace previous obstacles that have deteriorated over years of use during past events and being stored outside, exposed to weather.  This year’s event will take place on 4/21-22/23.  Approximately 60 teams from the USA and International colleges and high schools will participate during the two-day event.
