Abstract: This information collection supports the President's initiative to create opportunities to advance science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. The NASA Human Exploration Challenge/Great Moonbuggy Race is a vehicular engineering activity that targets both high school and college students. Participation is voluntary. It is designed to connect classroom training to tangible activities that enable practical application of STEM disciplines, cultivate innovative thinking, and embrace teamwork. This event is inspired by the original lunar rover that piloted across the Moon's surface in the early 1970's during the Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions. Many NASA missions reapplied existing technology/reused shuttles -- adding improvements when possible and applicable. Therefore, in the spirit of continual improvement, and effective through this extension, teams can now re-use vehicles from previous events, provided at least fifty percent of the combined total structure and associated systems have been modified or replaced. The 'NASA Form 4687/Returning Vehicle Report and Verification' was added to this information collection for that purpose. Public participation remains voluntary.

Short Statement: NASA added an additional form/information collection instrument, specifically the MSFC Form 4687/NASA Human Exploration Challenge Returning Vehicle Report and Verification. In the spirit of continual improvement, teams are now permitted to compete using rover vehicles from previous Rover Challenge events, provided 50% percent of the combined total structure and systems have been modified or replaced, MSFC Form 4687/NASA human Exploration Rover Challenge Returning Vehicle Report and Verification is added to this information collection to document the change. We believe the ability modify pre-used rover vehicles for future events will increase the number of respondents/participants and the associated burden.
