The Lunabotics Challenge is a hands-on experience created by NASA in support of the Artemis program. Its goal is to design and build a prototype robot capable of performing operations on a simulated lunar regolith surface. The 2025 qualification challenge will be held at the Florida Space Institute’s Exolith Lab at UCF May 15-18. The event is livestreamed on YouTube.
The arena is located inside the Exolith Lab Regolith Bin, which is filled with Lunar Highlands Simulant (LHS-2E). The top 10 scoring teams will also be invited to the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Merritt Island, Florida to compete on-site at the Artemis Arena located in the Astronauts Memorial Foundation’s Center for Space Education Building.
