Countdown to Mars : AR
After seven months and about 480 million kilometres of space travel, Perseverance will enter the Martian atmosphere on February 18, 2021. The rover will land in Jezero Crater and begin its exciting mission: searching for signs of past life. Scientists believe Jezero Crater was once home to a lake, making it a likely spot for traces of ancient microbial life—if those traces exist, that is. To mark this occasion, the Ontario Science Centre has partnered with YumeBau Inc. to develop five unique AR experiences: Explore SpaceX’s Raptor engine, dock cargo with the Canadarm2 or even pilot the Perseverance rover—no spacesuit required. Simply download the YumeGo app from the App Store or Google Play store, click on Ontario Science Centre thumbnail and let your mission begin!
