> As I understand it, we're really not looking that closely for life at the moment. ??? Perseverance: https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/mission/overview/ https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/mission/overview/ Two out of the four science objectives: - Looking for habitability: identify past environments that were capable of supporting microbial life. - Seeking biosignatures: seek signs of possible past microbial life in those habitable environments, particularly in specific rock types known to preserve signs over time. Curiosity: https://mars.nasa.gov/msl/mission/science/objectives/ https://mars.nasa.gov/msl/mission/science/objectives/ Three of the eight science objectives: - Determine the nature and inventory of organic carbon compounds - Inventory the chemical building blocks of life (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, and sulfur) - Identify features that may represent the effects of biological processes
