Our team MOVER.ID (Mars & Others Vehicle Experiment pRoject) was established as a new formed initiative specifically preparedto participate in International rover competitions, including the European Rover Challenge 2026 (ERC 2026). MOVER name reflects the spirit of exploration and the development of robotic vehicles designed for experiments and research in extreme environments such as Mars and other celestial bodies. As part of this mission, the team introduces its rover name ARKAVIRA. The name ARKAVIRA is derived from Sanskrit, combining Arka (sun) and Vira (hero), symbolizing a hero that endures under the sun. which means resiliance, courage in exploration, and the rover’s ability to operate under harsh environmental conditions. Through this project, MOVER.ID aims to advance rover technology innovation while strengthening student research and collaboration in the field of space exploration.

We gratefully acknowladge the support of our sponsor ANTAREXA who contribute components, technology, and technical support to the development of our rover.
