Mars has life?
NASA is planning step by step to find traces of life on Mars and complete the key goal of bringing people to the planet by 2030.
NASA researchers will face a lot of questions due to the pressure on the task of understanding the entire Martian surface in 2020. Josh Grunsfeld - Director of NASA Space Science Center said in a call. Online seminar: 'We are still in search of an answer to the big question: Does life exist on a planet other than Earth?'
During the previous survey, NASA found signs of water at a crater and rock form containing minerals and clay.
Grunsfeld shared after reading a 160-page report of Science of Martian Definition 2020 - a small team set up by NASA to outline the Center's mission objectives: 'We need to explore the surface. Mars once more and move on to the next step of the plan to answer the question: Has life ever existed on Mars? '
The goal of exploring the entire Mars by 2020 is a prerequisite for accomplishing the task that US President Barack Obama has entrusted to: bring people to Mars by 2030.
Jack Mustard - a member of the development team, the principal and also a professor of geological science at Brown University said: 'We are looking for traces of life. If life really ever existed here, it will save traces. '
According to a recent report, NASA is planning an extensive competition in space technology and exploration machine science equipment that will be used to find traces of life on Mars. .
In addition to the long-term goal of 2020, NASA plans to launch Mars's atmospheric and vaporization study plan in November. The plan is to investigate compounds in the Martian atmosphere, from which climate assessments are suitable for life.
In 2016, the European Space Agency and the Russian Federal Space Agency will shake hands to launch a modern Mars gas exploration machine called ExoMars to map methane and other gases. on Mars.
ExoMars will be launched on Mars in 2018. Jim Green, NASA Director of Planetary Science in Washington, said: 'What we have collected in the next 10 years will complete the batch plan. international research stations to Mars ".
