Perseverance Rover Tracks Debut at Mission: SPACE In Collaboration With NASA at EPCOT

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Epcot

Perseverance Rover tracks have debuted at Mission: SPACE at EPCOT after a collaboration between Imagineering and NASA.

The Mars sculpture is still in poor condition, with visible wear and tear on the red planet.

“NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory provided images captured by [the Perseverance rover] as reference for our artisans, a 3D print file to recreate sample tubes used on Mars, and loaned a prototype wheel of the Perseverance rover to create tread marks identical to those currently on Mars,” said Disney in a post on X.

The old Spirit and Opportunity tracks disappeared after a pavement refurbishment back in August 2023.
