Another year of NASA's Human Exploration Rover Challenge has crossed the finish line! 🏁

The annual engineering competition – one of NASA’s longest-standing challenges – held its concluding event April 19 and April 20, at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, near NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center.

More than 600 students with 72 teams participated as HERC celebrated its 30th anniversary as a NASA competition. Participating teams represented 42 colleges and universities and 30 high schools from 24 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and 12 other nations from around the world. Teams were awarded points based on navigating a half-mile obstacle course, conducting mission-specific task challenges, and completing multiple safety and design reviews with NASA engineers.

For Earth Day, here is this spectacular image showing the Moon’s shadow on Earth’s surface, which was acquired during a 20-second period starting at 2:59 p.m. EDT (18:59:19 UTC) on April 8, 2024, by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Though taken by the LRO, Earth is our home and NASA studies it more than any other planet. NASA powers Earth and climate science!
