Mars Rover & Enclosure

“We have a GO for exploration!" as guests take on the role of a remote scientist and discover robotics like those that have explored the Moon and Mars.   The goal: to guide a robotic rover on an exploration mission.

Guests call upon their best hand-eye coordination and navigation skills as they take control of a 2/3rds scale Soujourner-type rover and explore a quadrant of a moon or planetary surface.  Guests can either move the rover freely or follow a pre-set pattern of exploration in this 3-5 minute experience.
