Informing Mars Sample Selection Strategies: Identifying Fossil Biosignatures and Assessing Their Preservation Potential
abstract: The search for life on Mars is a major NASA priority. A Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission, Mars 2020, will be NASA's next step towards this goal, carrying an instrument suite that can identify samples containing potential biosignatures. Those samples will be later returned to Earth fo...
