This game simulates driving a rover on Mars while serving as an introduction to basic coding. Players are challenged to achieve a different goal on each level (e.g., navigate to a specific rock).

This 9-minute-long animation simulates Spirit and Opportunity’s journey from rocket launch through landing on Mars, including the use of the airbags, the rover unfolding itself upon landing, and using instruments to investigate a rock on the surface. Maas Digital created this animation of the Mars Exploration Rover mission for Cornell University and NASA/JPL in 2003.
