GLOBE Mission EARTH/AREN collaboration: TerraROVER Design project
The TerraROVER Senior Design Team, in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Boston University, successfully completed their Capstone Design project. The members of the team, Dana Bulakh, Jingshuo Li, Ani Pulake, Christian Urteaga, Marcus Wachira, collaborated with Prof Caleb Farny (Boston University, GLOBE Mission EARTH), Geoffrey Bland (NASA Goddard, AREN Project), and Lisa Ogiemwonyi (Wayne RESA, AREN Project), to continue development of the AREN TerraROVER vehicle and the primary goal of improving the vehicle frame and integrating thermal imaging and wind speed sensing to the vehicle's sensor package. The team successfully integrated these new aspects to the vehicle and held a session with the Roxbury Tenants of Harvard after school program, during which a group of high school students tested its assembly and operation.
