Missions in IRC
International Rover Challenge tasks simulating real Mars mission scenarios.
Instrument Deployment & Maintenance Operation (IDMO)
Instrument Deployment & Maintenance Operation (IDMO)
The Mission has two stages: Instrument Deployment and Instrument Maintenance. In the Instrument Deployment stage, the rover moves to a simulated instrument panel to perform tasks such as opening drawers, flipping switches, and operating a joystick.
Project Implementation & Management Assessment (PIMA)
Project Implementation & Management Assessment (PIMA)
The PIMA evaluates the rover's design and project success. Teams present the rover's development stages, testing persistence and problem-solving abilities across planning, manufacturing, and testing stages.
Astrobiology Expedition
Astrobiology Expedition
The rover functions as a mobile science laboratory to retrieve samples and conduct detailed analyses. It examines test samples for indicators of life and identifies sites with the potential to support microbial life.
Business Plan Presentation
Business Plan Presentation
This task evaluates the team's business mindset, encouraging alliances with corporate and academic communities to boost project development and spread awareness about real-life rover applications.
Reconnaissance & Autonomous Delivery Operation
Reconnaissance & Autonomous Delivery Operation
The rover performs reconnaissance over challenging terrain to locate and document scattered objects using onboard sensors and GPS logging, then autonomously delivers objects to designated locations using a robotic arm.
