About a month ago a “Life Marker Chip” was launched on a 12 day low-Earth orbit to determine that survivability for future journeys to mars. The LMC will hopefully be able to detect trace levels of biomarkers in the Martian environment. A biomarker will indicate if life is or ever was present on Mars. The LMD experiment has is being considered for the European Space AgencyOS ExoMars rover mission, which will launch in 2013. This test run is important because it will tell us if the key molecular components that the LMC uses will survive the harsh environment of space.
