"Perseverance is the first of an international team of robots. Its job is to collect samples of Mars rocks to be returned to Earth to answer the question: Was there ever in Pasadena, California, where Perseverance was built and tested before its launch and from where its mission is managed today. NASA also provided a 3D print file to recreate the sample tubes and images taken by Perseverance for Disney artisans to use when modeling the Martian surface.
The original display of Spirit and Opportunity Mars rover tracks was removed from the courtyard outside of the Mission: SPACE pavilion courtyard in August 2023.The exhibit is not the first time that a rover has left its tracks at Mission: SPACE. When the new pavilion opened on Aug. 15, 2003, JPL arranged for an engineering model of its Mars Exploration Roversto make a ceremonial pass through wet cement. The treads it left were placed on display along with a plaque inscribed with the words of then-NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe,"We're back ... and we're on Mars."
The Spirit and Opportunity plaque remained in place for 20 years until this past August, when Disney removed it while conducting repairs to the Mission: SPACE entranceway. At the time, Disney had no comment on the tracks' disappearance.on a thrilling ride to Mars" by using a centrifuge to produce similar G-forces to those experienced during a spacecraft's launch and re-entry.
