During NASA's current flagship mission to Mars, the focus has been on collecting old dry rocks to study for evidence of past life. However, a new project called 'agnostic life finding' (ALF) aims to shift this approach and search for life on Mars before human arrival. The ALF system will be an add-on to large-scale water mining operations on Mars, specifically designed to extract genetic polymers from water samples and search for indigenous Martian life. This system will also be utilized in future missions to other celestial bodies such as Europa, Enceladus, and the Moon. The ALF system represents a significant advancement in astrobiology research and will contribute to our understanding of the potential for life beyond Earth.
