Mines and Lockheed Martin held the inaugural Over the Dusty Moon Challenge on June 2-3, 2022. Five university teams from around the world descended on the Mines campus to demonstrate the systems they designed and built for moving lunar regolith. Judging focused on the amount of regolith simulant transported, system mass, energy consumed, dust tolerance and generation, autonomy and overall performance. The winning teams are:
- 1st place: Laurentian Lunars (Laurentian University in Greater Sudbury, Canada)
- 2nd place: SpaceTeam AGH (AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland)
- 3rd place: Team UNSW (University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia)
