How about a roll on Mars? NASA website allows 3D navigation on the planet

Mars, by itself, is a planet that yields thousands of interesting discussions. The features of the site are widely researched by scientists and other experts, and the geography, similar to that of our planet, is impressive, with several elements that make Mars habitable, considering all the necessary infrastructure, of course. If you want to browse around, you can do that through two cool online applications launched by NASA.

The first of these is Mars Trek, who compiles 50 years of data (!!!) to create a 3D visualization of the Red Planet surface that can be explored directly from your browser. NASA is using the online application to help determine where the next robot can land in 2020. This is all part of a plan to send humans to a mission on the planet over the next decade.

The second app is the coolest: Explore Curiosity. In it, as its name implies, you are in control of the Curiosity robot, which has been on Mars since 2012. It is a simulator that allows the user to "drive" the planet using manual controls from many different camera angles.

Take a trip to Mars!

Both applications are available online and are compatible with any browser. “We did a lot of 3D rendering to make the [application] Experience Curiosity work in a browser. Anyone with internet access can take a trip to Mars, ”said Kevin Hussey, manager of the development group in charge of NASA's lab.

NASA launches two browser applications that let you take 3D tours of Mars! Will you try it? Contains in the TecMundo Forum.
