Join the Mission
Join Team ROO-VER!
Australia’s mission bringing us to the Moon, together.
ROO-VER is being designed and built right here in Australia - not by one organisation, but by a growing team of engineers, scientists, students, teachers, and everyday Australians.
This is a national project, and one that belongs to all of us. Whether you're teaching a class, training for your first job, working in industry, or just curious about what’s next for Australia in space - there’s a place for you on this journey.
Below, you’ll find ways to join Team ROO-VER: meet engineers and space professionals at events around the country, learn about the design and development of ROO-VER via our online resources, contribute ideas and solutions through upcoming challenges, and explore opportunities to get involved through internships and jobs across the consortium.
Explore what’s possible, share it with others, and help shape a mission the whole country can follow with pride.
Events
ROO-VER is out in the world - visiting classrooms, exhibitions, and events - before it heads out of this world to the Moon!
These moments are a chance to get a closer look at Australia’s first lunar rover, hear from the people building it, and discover how you can be part of the journey. From interactive displays and design challenges to live demos of the prototype, every event is different.
Whether you're a teacher bringing students, a young learner yourself, exploring career options, or just want to see what Australia's lunar rover looks like - we’d love to see you there.

For students
ROO-VER isn’t just a mission to the Moon, it’s a way to bring real space exploration into classrooms and homes across Australia.
We’re working with education partners like One Giant Leap Australia Foundation and VSSEC to connect students to ROO-VER through learning materials, live events, and hands-on challenges. Whether you’re in primary school, high school or at university, there will be opportunities to get involved.
Resources and programs will be launching throughout the mission, from design activities and plant experiments to classroom visits and national competitions.
Follow us to keep updated on new resources and activities.
