This notice is issued in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 2459f-1(d). The 2009 Regolith Excavation Challenge is now scheduled and teams that wish to compete may now register. The NASA Centennial Challenges is a program of prize contests to stimulate innovation and competition in technologies of interest and value to NASA and the nation. The Regolith Excavation Challenge promotes the development of new methods and technologies to excavate lunar regolith (lunar dirt). Excavation is a necessary step towards lunar resource utilization. The unique physical properties of lunar regolith make excavation an extremely difficult technical challenge. To qualify to win a prize, teams competing in the 2009 Regolith Excavation Challenge must build tele-robotic and/or autonomously operating systems that will excavate simulated lunar regolith and deliver it to a collector.
