Additional data collected by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiters HiRISE camera then fills in the gaps.
NASAs second new interactive experience is Where Is Perseverance?
As the name suggests, the tool shows the current location of the rover.
The map is updated after every drive and flight taken by the robotic duo.
The tool traces Perseverances route across the Martian surface.
Both tools provide immersive ways to learn about Mars and follow NASAs mission.
They dont feel immensely realistic, but maybe thats not such a bad thing.
A virtual trip across Mars will likely be more pleasant thanthe real experienceawaitinghuman visitors to the planet.
