NASA Dec.7,2012 Mars Rover Results At Rocknest HD *****
NASA confirmed last week that the latest soil samples from the Curiosity rover did not contain an “earth-shaking” discovery. Today, the agency unveiled the test results from those samples during a press conference at Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco.
Curiosity rover retrieved its first soil sample using its new Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument, a tool that is capable of identifying organic compounds. However, this initial sample does not reveal any such compound.
“We have no definitive detection of Martian organics at this point, but we will keep looking in the diverse environments of Gale Crater,” says SAM Principal Investigator Paul Mahaffy of NASA‘s Goddard Space Flight Center.
