.... But how Mars sustained a climate suitable for liquid water to flow has been a major interest for astrobiological researchers for some time. Now researchers in the U.S modelling Mars’ climate are honing in on how Mars stayed...
...that equates to roughly a million bacteria per quarter teaspoon of coastal ocean water. "The detection of this elusive, astrobiologically relevant chemical is exciting for scientists who are eager to determine if life could develop on icy worlds such...
.... “The water bodies at the base of the SPLD [south polar layered deposits] therefore represent areas of potential astrobiological interest and planetary protection concern," write the team in their paper. "Future missions to Mars should target...
... representatives and science experts in fields related to planetary protection (such as planetary sciences, geology and geophysics, astrobiology, microbiology and sample-return). This enables the Panel to evaluate and properly assess the requests and...
