Geocaching
is now an interplanetary game!
NASA’s Perseverance Rover,
which landed on Mars on February 18, 2021, includes a trackable
code, making Perseverance a geocaching game piece.
The front of this geocoin is a replica of the unique glass
disk that contains that tracking code: the rover’s calibration
target.
The first image of this target beamed back to Earth on March 17,
2021 when Perseverance “took a selfie” with one of its on-board
cameras.
The instrument team who worked on these devices enjoyed
the Sherlock Holmes theme so much that they embedded several
other references.
