The vastness of the galaxy really is humbling—but as highlighted by MarsWorks’ Suspension and Chassis team, that just makes the impacts of an engineer in our little world all the more significant. Find out more about Joel Phillips and Kristine Azodo!

This week we’ll also be kicking off our 2023 Meet the Team, giving an in-depth look behind the scenes at what motivates and inspires us as engineers. Look out for the first post on Wednesday!

Bringing together all the lessons we’ve learnt from last year’s #anatolianroverchallenge, the MarsWorks team has completely redesigned the new rover for the 2023 ARC—and we’re finally ready to show it off!

[Project MarsWorks @MarsWorks_Sheff]

Our focus this year revolves around three fundamental pillars: manufacturability, manoeuvrability, and durability. Here’s an overview of what we’ve done to achieve our goals. As progress continues in the workshop, we’ll be releasing a series of detailed technical posts.

🎳 First social of the semester! 🎳

We had a great time bowling at Lane7 last week — it's always a welcome change to step back from rover development from time to time and help everyone unwind. We can’t wait for the next social!

[Project MarsWorks @MarsWorks_Sheff]

We had a great time representing The University of Sheffield at the open day this weekend! We’ll be excited to welcome familiar faces to the team in coming years.

Thanks to everyone that helped to organise the event — we’re already looking forward to the next one coming soon!
