Mission Mars: Perseverance Rover

The Perot Museum of Nature and Science is offering a media preview of a fascinating journey to Mars through the highly-anticipated NASA exhibit Mission Mars: Perseverance Rover. Featuring twin replicas of both NASA’s Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter, this unique experience offers a glimpse into the cutting-edge technology being used to explore the Red Planet.

The exhibit includes authentic examples of the rover’s explorations including video, images and sounds collected from the Martian surface. It offers Perot Museum visitors the opportunity to delve into the ambitious goals and groundbreaking scientific instruments of the rover’s remarkable mission.

Also, a second new hands-on experience at the Perot Museum provides the opportunity to explore and learn about how humans experience sound. Sound Trek: Journey of Sound inspires participants to investigate how to define sounds, visualize how we hear, examine the function of the ear and understand the intricacies of the hearing process.

The experience is a collaborative effort between the Perot Museum of Nature and Science and Lucid Hearing to create a new interactive experiment in the Bio Lab focusing on hearing and hearing health.

Both Mission Mars: Perseverance Rover and Sound Trek: Journey to Sound are included with the price of a general admission ticket.
