BURBANK, Calif., April 27, 2007 – Experience Mars like never before when the visually stunning IMAX
documentary, ROVING MARS, sets down on DVD and Blu-ray Disc July 31st from Walt Disney Home

Originally presented on IMAX screens in 2006, ROVING MARS received excellent reviews for its captivating
account of the 2003 Mars Rover mission in which two robots—named Spirit and Opportunity—were sent to
explore the red planet. The documentary begins with the development of the machines by a team of dedicated
scientists and chronicles the project through to the stunning images of Mars sent back from the unmanned
explorers.

television special is a look into the scientific knowledge about space from that era. Also included is “Mars: Past,
Present & Future”, a new feature developed for this release which includes personal reflections on Mars from the
filmmakers, JPL Rover team members and students from the “Imagine Mars” program.
