The Perseverance Rover is a NASA rover that was launched in 2020 on a mission to Mars. The rover landed on Mars on Feb. 18, 2021 and has collected rocks that NASA hopes will eventually be returned to Earth.

Mission: SPACE is an EPCOT attraction that invites guests brave enough to endure launch forces on a simulated mission to Mars. The intense Orange mission features a centrifuge that “spins and tilts to simulate the speed and G-forces of a spacecraft launch and reentry”. Guests who wish for a gentler ride can instead opt for a gentle orbit around the Earth via the Green mission.
