84 TEAMS TO COMPETE IN NASA GREAT MOONBUGGY RACE APRIL 1-2

Forty years after the first lunar rover rolled across the moon's surface, 84 teams of enterprising future engineers will demonstrate the same ingenuity and can-do spirit at the 18th annual NASA Great Moon buggy Race, set for April 1-2 in Huntsville, Ala.

The event challenges high school and college students to design, build and race lightweight, human-powered rovers "moon buggies" which address many of the same engineering challenges dealt with by Apollo-era lunar rover developers in the late 1960s.Teams include U.S. high school, college and university students from 22 states and Puerto Rico; and international challengers from six countries, including returning teams from Canada, India and Germany and for the first time racers from Ethiopia, Pakistan and Russia. For a complete list of competitors.
