الملخص

Astrobiology is the study of life outside Earth. The quest for life beyond the earth requires an understanding of life and the nature of its supportive environments, as well as of the planetary and stellar processes. One of the first steps in searching for life outside Earth is to find an exoplanet that presents a supportive environment for all sides of life by various methods. When such a planet is detected, the scientific challenge is to determine how it can accommodate life through the great distances of interstellar space. Scientists evaluated and restricted the conditions of habitability at each of these stages in their research on Mars' terrestrial analogues, surface geochemistry, and the likelihood of organic and inorganic biosignature conservation. Studying these analog environments provides crucial information for a better knowledge of past and current mission results, as well as for the design, selection, and planning of future Mars exploration missions.
