Destination: Pluto the VR Experience

Destination: Pluto the VR Experience lets you take a self-guided virtual reality tour of Pluto’s surface, using imagery and topographical data sent by the New Horizons probe. You can explore three locations based on Pluto’s geological processes, view them from a personal space pod or fly among their hills and canyons. The experience also lets you walk around, lift boulders according to Pluto’s gravity and jet-pack across an entire hemisphere.

Three locations

The tour visits the dark canyon lands of Krun Macula in the south, the glacier spillway on the north shore of Sputnik Planum at the al-Idrisi Mountains, and the pitted high plains of central Sputnik Planum. Descriptive placards point out features across the landscapes.

Across the Plutonian System

You can visit the New Horizons spacecraft as it travels through the Plutonian System. The experience also presents the technology, precision and ingenuity behind the probe’s journey to Pluto.
