UAE’s Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) announced that it will simulate the manned 2117 Mars mission in the metaverse.
A collaboration between MBRSC and BEDU, a pioneer in Web3 technologies and solutions, the project will include exciting virtual experiences for visitors, allowing them to explore “the sensations of being in space and setting foot on the Red Planet,” WAM reported.
“As we set our sights on ever more challenging destinations for exploration with humans and robots, innovative ideas and future thinking will be critical to helping us reach new milestones. Concepts like this will be supported by MBRSC as we believe this will help us expand our scope of bigger possibilities,” MBRSC’s Mars 2117 Programme Manager Adnan Al Rais said.
