Thank you Alpha Creations for helping to make our 2024 Launch Night unforgettable. Their provision of high quality pink lighting helped highlight our event's theme. Additionally, they also solely handled all AV over the course of the night, allowing viewers to tune in from home.

After months of hard work, design reviews and testing, Monash Nova Rover is proud to announce that we placed 2nd in the 2024 Australian Rover Challenge!

Today the team took on the final mission of the Australian Rover Challenge - the Mapping and Autonomous task. The spectators watched our rover Waratah independently navigate the competition field and gather data. #australianroverchallenge2024 #ARCh2024 #rover #space

Today the team attempted the Space Resources task of the Australian Rover Challenge. We could not be prouder of our Science subteam, who successfully extracted water - a feat that has not been achieved for the last 3 years of us attempting this challenge.

Today, the team attempted the Construction and Excavation task. Despite running into a myriad of issues, the team was able to troubleshoot on the fly and managed to overcome several of these setbacks. The base station crew put in an amazing effort, and we couldn't be prouder.

Today, was our team's attempt at the Post Landing mission during the Australian Rover Challenge. Our team is incedibly glad with how our systems performed today. Check out some photos from today's challenge! #australianroverchallenge2024 #ARCh2024 #rover #space #australia

The team has arrived and set up our workshop tent at the University Of Adelaide - Roseworthy Campus! After a long drive yesterday, the team is right into it with competition simulations and good vibes. #australianroverchallenge2024 #ARCh2024 #rover #space #australia #engineering
