The Jetson TX2 has been the Tumbleweed’s main computer for the past year and we have had a great experience working with it so far.

From March to June 2019, Team Tumbleweed participated in the GATE program organized by the WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business).

The YEC (Young Entrepreneurs Conference) is Austria’s leading event for ambitious and student-entrepreneurs. The event poses a unique opportunity for anyone up to the age of 18 to pitch their innovative idea

At the Moonshot Pirates Bootcamp in Tainach, Carinthia, we had the opportunity to present our project to a new generation of inspired young entrepreneurs.

A model of the Tumbleweed and the electronics bay of the prototype tested in Oman is now part of the permanent exhibition at the Museum of Technology in Vienna.

After many iterations of the new connector design were printed from PLA with our own 3D-printers, we finally received a test print made out of aluminum from our partners at FH Wiener Neustadt and Fotec.

During February 2018, the Austrian Space Forum conducted the AMADEE-18 Mars simulation in the Dhofar desert region, Oman, and we were part of it! A Tumbleweed prototype with a diameter of 2.25 m was tested three times.

After winning the national and regional stages of the Odysseus space contest, we were honored to participate at the international final at the Cité de l’espace of CNES in Toulouse, France.
