Most researchers now believe that the results of the Viking biology experiments can explained by purely chemical processes that do not require the presence of life, and the GCMS results completely rule out life in any event. Thus, there is no detectable life at the two Viking landing sites, w...
He explained that the water the crews will carry to Mars will serve as shielding against deadly solar particles and cosmic rays. And once on the Red Planet, the habitat's roof will have some two meters of Martian soil for protection. You'll just have to make sure not to wander outside...
Bell explained that the mission also uses virtual reality technology so members can traverse and explore the surface of Mars for longer periods and over a greater surface area. Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog (CHAPEA) is a series of analog missions that will s...
Gathering data primarily from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, scientists explained in theJournal of Geophysical Research (citation below)that large areas of water on Mars existed for one billion years longer than we had estimated. The landscape in the northern Arabia Terra region in Mars – it...
Is it time to revisit what NASA's Viking lander found on Mars in 1976? Could Mars volcanoes have supported ancient life on the Red Planet? Well, maybe Gilbert Levin, Mars maverick. (Image credit: Gilbert Levin) "I am certain that NASA knows there is life on Mars," he said this pa...
Then, one interesting topic in astrobiology—that in the past life existed on the Martian meteorite, ALH84001—is explained. In the following sections, the evidence for life is presented. However, each piece of evidence is refuted one by one by chemical processes, ultimately resulting in ...

The two researchers have also explained the significance of their finding in an article published online by the media network the Conversation on Thursday. "Today Mars is cold and inhospitable," they wrote. "But it may have been more Earth-like and habitable in a bygone era." ...
Searching for evidence of life on Mars is a major impetus for exploration. A new study published in Nature Communications finds that current Mars mission instruments lack the essential sensitivity to identify life traces in Chilean desert samples that st
If there is life on Mars - life that actually developed there, rather than hitching a ride from Earth - it will likely be found some distance underground. There, microbes would produce methane as part of their metabolism. Biology isn't the...
