the next phase of human space exploration supporting the Artemis missions. This two-semester event encourages students to design and build an autonomous or telerobotic robot designed to traverse the simulated Lunar surface and complete the assigned construction tasks. The number of teams accepted into this challenge is not predetermined but is based on the scores and overall quality of the Project Management Plans received and other factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The culmination of the Lunabotics virtual challenge will be the design, build and operation of a functional prototype Lunar robot. Teams are required to submit the following: (1) Project Management Plan, (2) Systems Engineering Paper, a (3) STEM Engagement Report, and a  (4) Proof of Life Video. A team failing to submit any one of these items will be removed from the competition. This is an optional item, but to qualify for the grand prize a team will also submit a: (5) Presentation and Demonstration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eligibility:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Accredited institutions of higher learning (vocational \/ technical schools, college \/ university) in the United States, its Commonwealths, territories and or possessions.
