This project investigates the potential for microbial life in Martian soil by testing Earth organisms under simulated Martian conditions. It aims to understand habitability and develop instruments for future Mars missions to analyze soil samples.
The low average temperature and low water activity of the Martian near-surface environment makes it challenging for living organisms to persist and propagate.
Nonetheless, recent mission results indicate that environmental conditions exceed locally and temporarily the lower thresholds for life to exist.
Furthermore, specific soil minerals, or combinations thereof, appear to provide a suitable habitat for microbial life, especially if associated with low-temperature brines or hygroscopic salts.…
