未来几十年,欧洲航天局(ESA)和美国国家航空航天局(NASA)计划在火星上执行几项任务,以确定火星上是否存在生命,或者是否仍然存在生命。为这些任务设计的一种仪器是火星有机探测器(MOD),它使用新的方法来实现对关键生物有机化合物的极高探测灵敏度和分析能力。MOD计划在下个十年的早期参加ESA的ExoMars任务,并试图回答我们在太阳系中是否孤独的问题。在这里,国防部团队解释了为什么我们有理由对发现火星的有机秘密持乐观态度。
The quest to determine whether life existed, or still exists, on Mars continues with several missions planned for the red planet by both the European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the next few decades. One instrument designed for these missions is the Mars Organic Detector (MOD), which uses anew approach to achieve exceptionally high detection sensitivities and analysis capabilities for key bio-organic compounds. MOD is scheduled to fly in the ESA ExoMars mission earlynext decade and will attempt to answer the question of whether we are alone in the solar system. Here the MOD team explains why we have reason to be optimistic about uncovering the organic secrets of Mars.
