Mars still holds the promise of being one of the first places in the solar system humanity will colonize. However, if there was evolutionarily distinct, extant life on the planet, it might sway the heart of even the most ardent Mars colonization fans. So astrobiologists are in a race against time to try to determine whether or not such life exists, before the entire planet becomes an analogue of the Earth’s biosphere, if only unintentionally, an…
Signs of recent life on Mars could be detected using new simple test
A Ph.D. student and his supervisor have developed a simple way to test for active life on Mars and other planets using equipment already on the Mars Curiosity rover and planned for future use on the ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover.
A computer already installed in the Curiosity rover and planned for future use in ExoMars' Rosalind Franklin rover can be used to easily assess the existence of active life on Mars.
A PhD. The student and his supervisor have developed a simple way to test active life on Mars and other planets by already using equipment on the Mars Curiosity Rover and planned for future use on the Exomars Rosalind Franklin Rover. There is a huge interest in the possibility of a past or present life [...]
