The image is fully released; the model release is on file in Media Relations & Strategic Communications.

During the first test, the nose of the 3-D printed anchor broke, causing the team to replace it with an older version so the team could try for better testing data of how much horizontal pressure the anchor will hold before pulling out of the sand in a former shower room in Sun Devil Hall on Monday, September 16, 2024. Grant Lesley, left, Georgia Lee, Sarwan Shah and Connor Owens, right, discuss their insights. A group of ASU students competes with other universities in NASA’s 2024 BIG Idea Challenge, a rigorous challenge for students to design, build and test prototypes related to NASA’s current mission needs. The program challenges students and faculty from Space Grant-affiliated colleges and universities to address critical issues in the Space Technology Mission Directorate’s work for various NASA missions. The ASU team will present the findings of its AEGIS - Inflatable Lunar Landing Pad System, along with five other colleges and universities in November. Photo by Charlie Leight/ASU News
