Goals
identification and quantification of- traces of organic compounds in the Martian deep soil- organic compounds in the surface matter of a comet
Tool
- gas chromatograph coupled with a mass spectrometer

Result: no life detected, could not even identify organic molecules (< ppb) in the upper layer of the Martian soil.
![Page 43: In-situ instrumentation for planetary surface exploration: present and future](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022013012/568146f4550346895db428d6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Science goal: Signs of Past and Present Life
Are there any organic or water molecules in the Martian soil or atmosphere ?
Detection and determination of organic compounds and water in
Martian soil from different depths
- Observation of oxidised organic compounds, not just CO2 ; Question: What are the oxidising agents ? Are they present in the deeper Martian soil layers ?
- Identification and characterisation of minute traces of complex organic molecules, which might be contained and/or encapsulated in the subsurface material and are most likely very rare. Amino acid chirality determination.
- Determination of elements essential for (terrestrial) life, such as C, O, N and H
- Measurement of the isotopic ratios, such as D/H, 13C /12C, 15N/14N etc.
- Traces of extinct life forms, even more interesting, traces of extant life forms

Identification and characterisation of minute traces of complex organic molecules
Sample preparation and sample concentration is required prior to the GC-MS analysis.
A GC-MS can only analyze volatile compounds.
Most metastable products of organics substances are refractory (e.g. salts). Thesample preparation (e.g. esterification) is an essential condition for the GC-MSanalysis.

Example:The ( 18O / 16O) std ratio of (SMOW) Standard Mean Ocean Water is 2.0052 10-3. A sample that is 18O = 5 heavier than SMOW corresponds to a ratio value of 2.0152 10-3.
Isotope abundance: The “delta” notation18O = (18O/16O)sample / (18O/16O) std -1) * 1000
Dynamic range:about (105 ) to 106
Lodders et al. 1997, Clayton et al. 1973
High precision required !Several samples must be analyzed.
Origin: Formation from nebula dust and gas(Example: isotopic ratio 17O / 16O and 18O / 16O)

The elemental ratio of S to O is comparable to the ratio of the O isotopes:The requirements for the precision of the elemental abundance measurements could match the requirements of isotopic analysis.
Example: Bulk silicate earth, no fractionation taken into account
Isotopic ratio: Is the measurement feasible ?

Global Map of Epithermal Neutrons:Epithermal neutrons provide the most sensitive measure of hydrogen in surface soils. Inspection of the global epithermal map shows high hydrogen content in surface soils south of about negative 60 degree latitude and in a ring that almost surrounds the north polar cap..
