Guests visiting the Mission: SPACE attraction at EPCOT in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., may notice a new addition created through the combined magic of Walt Disney Imagineering and NASA’s Perseverance Mars Rover team.
A new display replicates the tread marks left by the Perseverance rover on the surface of Mars, using a borrowed prototype rover wheel. Disney artisans also added some surface collection tubes recreated through 3D printing. Perseverance continues its mission on Mars to collect samples that a future mission could one day return to Earth.
