Curiosity rover closes three years on Mars, and to commemorate the anniversary, NASA has released two new interactive online tools designed to train both the public and help scientists choose future landing sites. 
The tools allow visitors to learn more about Curiosity and its mission. It still allows them to explore the surface of Mars since they can drive Curiosity on one virtual tour.
The first tool is Mars Trek, which was developed by NASA for Lunar Mapping and Modeling of the Project. It is a browser-based application that provides detailed interactive maps of Mars, drawing data from all missions made since the 1960 decade.
Χρησιμοποιώντας τυποποιημένες εντολές gaming (από το πληκτρολόγιο), οι χρήστες μπορούν να κάνουν ζουμ μέσα και έξω, να επιλέξουν διάφορες προβολές χάρτη, και προσθέστε στρώματα από μια μεγάλη λίστα δεδομένων που έχουν συλλεχθεί από τα διαστημόπλοια που είναι σε τροχιά κατά τη duration all these years.
In addition, there are downloadable files for 3D printers, so users can print their own Aryan landscapes.
NASA reports that the Mars Trek tool is also being used by space scientists to help them choose the landing space for Mars 2020 mission, as well as possible landing sites for the manned mission to be made in the 2030 decade.
The next tool is called Experience Curiosity and you can also see it from your browser. This time it's not an interactive map. The application allows users to have an 3D drive with Curiosity on the Martian landscape.
You can zoom and rotate. Experience Curiosity uses a virtual landscape based on images from Curiosity and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO).
The app will allow you to operate a virtual Curiosity rover, learn about its various components, steer it between points αναφοράς μιας αποστολής, και να επιλέξτε τη θέα που θα βλέπετε από τις cameras which features Curiosity.
Let's recall that the unmanned Curiosity rover landed on Mars at 6 August 2012 at the Bradbury landing. In a mission that has gone on to date, 687 days are studying the geology and climate of the red planet in the Gale crater area, with particular emphasis on areas where life could exist.
