Robotics for Space Exploration (RSX) is a design team at the University of Toronto. It was co-founded in May of 2013 by passionate roboticists, space enthusiasts, and undergraduate engineering students. The recent explosion in interest in space exploration is what triggered the formation of RSX. With organizations working on Mars-bound spacecraft, teams around the world racing to win the Google Lunar X Prize, undergraduate students launching nano-satellites, and companies aspiring to mine asteroids, there has been a shift in the age-old paradigm that only a limited number of highly specialized organizations can partake in space exploration.

Needless to say, space exploration is an exciting and challenging venture. The field of space engineering is growing at a rapid pace and we hope that RSX will play a part in bolstering the interest in space and space engineering, and develop the next generation of skilled Canadian engineers who will be at the forefront of the space industry. By designing, building, and testing robots designed for planetary and lunar exploration, RSX competes in space engineering competitions around the world. At heart, our true passion is manned space exploration, and we hope to build robotic systems to facilitate it.
