NESSP – Northwest Earth and Space Sciences Pipeline

Current student challenge — ROADS on Asteroids

A space craft flies across a star field toward the asteroid Vesta, surrounded by a circle with the words Rover Observation and Drone Survey (ROADS) on Asteroids. NESSP’s 2020–2021 NASA National Student Challenge is ROADS on Asteroids! This year student teams will take a mission to the asteroid Vesta, encountering challenges including engineering and programming, analyses of biological signatures and geologic features, drone flight and impactor drops. ROADS on Asteroids is aligned with Next Generation Science Standards, creating a fun, hands-on activity that can help students meet requirements. Curriculum for a companion course is also available.
