Back to Artemis I – Unit 4: Drones and Rovers
Artemis ROADS – Unit 4 Lesson 3: Rover Development
In this lesson: Students will build and program a robot to plan a successful mission to the Moon. Then, they will use the Engineering Design Process to build a test bed and modify the rover’s wheels. Next, they will use size and scale factors to compare VIPER and their rover and their test beds with the surface of the Moon. Finally, groups will document their work in this lesson.
Lesson Level Question: How do we combine what we know about the surface of the Moon and the structure and function of our rover to complete a safe and successful rover mission?
