ExoMars: Europe's Next Step in the Search for Life on Mars

- Speaker: Dr Jeff Marlow, Imperial College
- Location: Second Nature Island
- Date: Tuesday 5 August 2008
- Time: 10am PDT, 6pm BST
Humanity has sought an answer to this question for thousands of years, but only recently has our technology become equal to the task. Mars has emerged as the most likely extraterrestrial destination to yield results in the near term, but despite multiple missions to the Red Planet, the question remains unanswered. ExoMars could change that: with its sophisticated life-detection payload and subsurface drill, the rover might just be the best hope yet to find life on Mars.
We were joined on August 5th by Jeff Marlow, Imperial College, to hear him talk about his work towards the ExoMars mission and his thoughts on finding life on Mars. Out of the lab, Jeff is one of our newest bloggers at Nature Network: do check out his blog for a wide range of space related stories.
