GoPro cameras were prevalent throughout the movie and the manufacturer is seizing its moment in the spotlight with some fun activations and campaigns.

A deleted scene has been released showing Watney engaging in some science experiments after being left behind on Mars. The footage is presented like the other in-universe videos, as part of the “Ares Archive.”
