U of S students building Mars rover
Some University of Saskatchewan students are working on a project that's out of this world.
The members of the U of S Space Design Team (USST) are building a Mars rover for an international competition.
“The goal of this competition is to design a multi-purpose rover that can be used in several different scenarios,” said USST president Justin Gerein.
The rover will use a mechanical arm to complete different challenges including collecting and testing a sample for life, picking up and delivering equipment and driving over Mars-like terrain.
