Scientific paper

This work aims to analyze Martian analogue soils representing a variety of mineralogical and organic compositions in order to develop methodology for use on the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) experiment onboard the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover. The organic molecules present in the soils must be extracted and derivatized before reaching the Gas Chromatograph - Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) analytical device. Approaching the actual SAM experiment brings up numerous constraints. Even under these restrictions, detection of organic molecules is possible.
