Instructions

Students will investigate current and past space exploration technology. Based on their understanding of space technology, students will design and build a rover to explore a new planet based on their understanding of current and past Mars rover technologies.

7. Team Rover Design

Meet with your group and share your ideas for the construction of your rover.  Decide as a group what your rover will look like and where/how all of the sensors will be mounted. Be sure to include a camera and distance sensor (or ultrasonic sensor). You will also need a temperature/humidity/pressure sensor and light sensor for later missions.

Draw out a final design for your team rover on a piece of paper.
