The Olympus Rover Trials Competition

GMV is an official partner of the Olympus Rover Trials Competition to be held from 21 to 28 July in the UK.

This competition, organized by UK Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (UKSEDS), is geared towards university students from the whole country, challenging them to design, build and operate a rover for the Mars return mission.

UKSEDS sets out to help and educate youngsters and inspire them towards space exploration and research. To do so the society organizes and runs a whole host of activities. UKSEDS is the UK chapter of the global SEDS movement, working alongside sister organizations all around the world in Canada, Mexico, Nepal, Spain and the United States, among others.

The Olympus Rover Trials competition represents a great chance for students to learn how to work in a professional environment and see how the space industry works.
