'Mars Rover' Game Celebrates Curiosity's 4th Anniversary
A fun new app lets users explore the rugged terrain of Mars, just as NASA's Curiosity rover began doing for real four years ago.
The free game for computers and mobile devices, called "Mars Rover," should help players get a better appreciation of what Curiosity is up to on the Red Planet, NASA officials said. Game players also search for buried water using radar, just as the agency's next Mars rover will do.
JPL worked with the GAMEE game-player network to develop "Mars Rover." You can download the game, and learn more about how it relates to real-life Mars exploration, here: http://mars.nasa.gov/gamee-rover/.
