 RELEASE: 11-320

NASA 2012 LUNABOTICS COMPETITION OPEN FOR REGISTRATION



WASHINGTON -- NASA is accepting applications from teams of U.S. and
international undergraduate and graduate students for the third
annual Lunabotics Mining Competition. The event will be at NASA's
Kennedy Space Center in Florida May 21-26, 2012.

Participants in the competition will design and build a remote
controlled or autonomous robot, which could be used for future
exploration on the moon. During the competition, the teams' designs,
known as lunabots, will go head-to-head to determine which one can
excavate and deposit the most simulated lunar dirt within 10 minutes.


Students must submit applications, including a systems engineering
paper and an educational outreach project, by Nov. 30. Registration
is limited to one team for each university campus and 10 teams per
country.

The competition is designed to engage and retain students in the
science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, disciplines
critical to NASA's missions.
