The long search for Martian life
Life on Mars is the hot topic of the decade. The NASA missions Mars Science Laboratory in Gale Crater and Mars 2020 in Jezero Crater are searching for traces of martian life. The European/Russian rover mission ExoMars 2022 will be launched in September 2022 to search for life in Oxia Planum. In fact, we have been looking for life on Mars since the 1970s when the two Viking landers touched down on the surface of the planet in 1976.
