NASA created the Curiosity Markhod simulator
The Curiosity Mark Road, launched in 2011, travels on the surface of Mars for three years, and in honor of the next anniversary in NASA created a virtual simulator , with the help of which all users can find out about the work of Curiosity and feel themselves operators of the margin.
According to N+1 , when creating a simulator to achieve realism, the creators took into account the real commands, which can perform a rover, but increased the speed of Curiosity by 20 times. In addition, the Mark Road moves in the simulator exactly where the real Curiosity actually moved.
The simulator allows you to use individual laboratory tools and look at the surface of Mars both from the side and through the chambers installed on the rowplane.

- Curiosity Rover (@marscuriosity) August 6, 2015Curiosity landed on Mars in August 2012. Initially, it was planned that the device, which is an autonomous chemical laboratory, will work on the Red Planet about 700 earthly days, but later its mission was extended.
Recall that recently the European Space Agency has launched an interactive service with which any user can make a fascinating virtual tour of the international space station and learn a lot about its internal structure.
