Overview: As a way to generate interest in the Mars program, the Mars Society held a competition challenging groups to build a Mars Rover. Engineering students from the University of Michigan entered this worldwide competition. It was through the Mars Rover Project's association with Stewart & Stevenson that Generac came into contact with the mission. When the students from the University of Michigan approached Generac about providing a small RV (recreational vehicle) genset, Generac was happy to help. The 5 kilowatt diesel RV genset that Generac provided would typically be supplying power to a refrigerator, microwave, and television in a luxury motor home.
