In 2021, FORTUNA made its first appearance at the European Rover Challenge (ERC), marking the beginning of a new chapter in the team’s rover development journey.
The competition simulated realistic planetary exploration scenarios, pushing teams to design systems capable of autonomy, precision, and reliability. For FORTUNA, the debut was a chance to bring months of design and testing into a demanding international environment.
ERC 2021 offered invaluable experience, technical feedback, and the opportunity to compete alongside teams from around the world. FORTUNA’s first run at ERC laid the groundwork for future iterations, growth, and increasingly ambitious missions in space robotics. 🚀
