Great Moonbuggy Race Winners: Third Place, College (NASA, April 10, 2010)

NASA's 17th annual Great Moonbuggy Race has roared to a successful finish at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala. Here's some information about the winning designs!

Third Place, College Division

Racers from the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, R.I., took home the third-place trophy in the college division of NASA's 17th annual Great Moonbuggy Race. The school fielded its first-ever race team this year. More than 70 high school, college and university teams, hailing from 18 states, Puerto Rico, Canada, Germany, India and Romania, took part in the matchup of wits and wheels at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center April 9-10 in Huntsville, Ala. The race is organized by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville. It challenges students to design, build and race lightweight, human-powered buggies that tackle many of the same engineering challenges dealt with by Apollo-era lunar rover developers at the Marshall Center in the late 1960s.
