Two teams from the Indo-Swiss Training Center (ISTC) here have jointly won the first prize in the NASA Rover Challenge Asia Cup 2017, organised in India for the first time for students.
During the competition, “Jesco Von Puttkamer India Cup 2017”, students had to design and make rover/moon buggy. A one-km track similar to the moon surface was formed and the students had to run their moon buggy on this. Both ISTC teams successfully ran their buggies in the lowest time span.
The teams will now participate in the final round of Nasa Rover Challenge, US, to be held in April 2018. The teams were christened ‘Centaur’ and ‘Siraa’.
Prof RK Sinha, Director, Central Scientific Instruments Organisation; and Narinder Singh Jassal, Principal, ISTC, congratulated the students and the faculty for their achievement.
