Venus, Mars, and the ices on Mercury and the moon: astrobiological implications and proposed mission designs.
Venus and Mars likely had liquid water bodies on their surface early in the Solar System history. The surfaces of Venus and Mars are presently not a suitable habitat for life, but reservoirs of liquid water remain in the atmosphere of Venus and the subsurface of Mars, and with it also the possibility of microbial life. Microbial organisms may have adapted to live in these ecological niches by t...
متن کاملBiological contamination studies of lunar landing sites: implications for future planetary protection and life detection on the Moon and Mars
Chemical and microbiological studies of the impact of terrestrial contamination of the lunar surface during the Apollo missions could provide valuable data to help refine future Mars surface exploration plans and planetary protection requirements for a human mission to Mars. NASA and ESA have outlined new visions for solar system exploration that will include a series of lunar robotic missions ...
متن کاملESA's Mars Express Mission – Europe on Its Way to Mars
Introduction In the broad context of planetary science, Mars represents an important transition between the outer volatile-rich, more oxidised regions of the accretion zone of the terrestrial bodies (asteroid belt) and the inner, more refractory and less oxidised regions from which Earth, Venus and Mercury accreted. Its size, the degree of internal activity, the age of its surface features, and...
متن کاملIn Situ Biological Contamination Studies of the Moon; Implications for Planetary Protection and Life Detection Missions
?abstract NASA and ESA have outlined visions for solar system exploration that will include a series of lunar robotic precursor missions to prepare for, and support a human return to the Moan, and future human exploration of Mars and other destinations, including possibly asteroids. One of the guiding principles for exploration is to pursue compelling scientific questions about the origin and e...
متن کاملSurface Exploration Metrics of a Long Duration Polar Analogue Study: Implications for Future Moon and Mars Missions
To prepare for the return of humans to the Moon by 2020 and the eventual human exploration of Mars, it is important to gain a better understanding of the logistical requirements for living, working, and exploring on the surface of another planet. Given humanity’s limited experience with human planetary surface research (i.e., the Apollo missions), high fidelity simulations in analogue environme...
