Scientific paper

The research of life signs, especially extinct life, on or within the surface of Mars and, in general, on planetary surfaces, is the scope of the science. The research, which has the peculiarity that can be performed unmanned and in situ, also includes the geological aspects in order to identify rocks and soils that could have a high possible chance of preserving evidence of ancient environmental conditions and pre-biotic or biological activity. The aim of this paper is to describe a facility able to collect, by suitable drill (which is supposed to be included in the mission), un-contamined samples and to prepare them for in situ analysis using a set of analytical instruments. The information provided in the following are taken from the "Phase A Study for a Multi-user Facility for Exobiology Research", a Study that Officine Galileo carried out under ESA contract in collaboration with Astrium (formerly DASA-Dornier) and Tecnospazio.
