About this app

Stand on the surface of Mars. Mars View turns real photographs from NASA's rovers into immersive panoramas you can pan, zoom and explore, following each rover's path across the planet.

FOUR ROVERS, ONE PLANET
- Perseverance (Mars 2020): exploring Jezero crater, from landing to today
- Curiosity (MSL): Gale crater and the slopes of Mount Sharp, since 2012
- Spirit (MER-A) and Opportunity (MER-B): the historic journeys (2004 to 2018) that redefined Mars exploration

FEATURES
- Immersive panoramas assembled from the rovers' own cameras
- Look around naturally by moving your phone
- Follow each rover's route on the traverse map and jump to any location with a tap
- Bring any image to the foreground to see it in full detail
- New imagery appears as it arrives from Mars
- Available in 10 languages

FREE AND PRIVATE
Mars View is free, with no ads, no accounts, and no data collection.

A NOTE ON DATA USAGE

This app was originally inspired by Michael Howard's excellent Midnight Planets app, and by a lifelong passion for robotic space exploration and Mars. Feature suggestions and bug reports are always welcome: send me an email, I'd love to hear from you.

Ratings and reviews

Great app but the cardboard mode seems to be bugged, it continously resets it's position and not to mention that there's no way to navigate while wearing the cardboard.

Fantastic streaming of how I view NASA photos and I love reading the comments community and leaving messages of apps on mars with a few words...usually lots of flags but my phone doesn't have all flags of the world

doesn't run at all - just white screen

What’s new

Improved panorama rendering for Curiosity, Spirit, and Opportunity.
