About NASA’s Robotic Mining Competition

Introduction

NASA’s Robotic Mining Competition is for university-level students to design and build

a mining robot that can traverse the simulated Martian chaotic terrain. The ‘bot must then excavate the basaltic regolith simulant (called Black Point-1 or BP-1) and the ice simulant (gravel) and return the excavated mass for deposit into the Collector Bin to simulate an off-world mining mission. The complexities of the challenge include the abrasive characteristics of the basaltic regolith simulant, the weight and size limitations of the mining robot and the ability to tele-operate it from a remote Mission Control Center. The On-Site Mining category will require teams to consider a number of design and operation factors such as dust tolerance and dust projection, communications, vehicle mass, energy / power required, and autonomy. The competition consists of the following mandatory categories:

On-Site Mining
Systems Engineering Paper
Outreach Project

Teams may also compete in the following optional categories:

Slide Presentation / Demonstration
Team Spirit
