From the realization that Earth is not the only planet in the system until today, Mars has drawn a lot of attention. Studies have been carried out on this planet, on which scientists have been working hard, for years. The common point of these studies isIs there or was there life on Mars?” is happening.
but now NASA and a crowdsourcing platform HeroXis studying the potential of Mars to once host life. To better analyze the data, NASA competition is organizing.
Russian space chief and NASA astronaut clashed on Twitter!
There was a big fight between the Russian space chief and NASA astronaut. The two names did not stop saying to each other on Twitter.
The data collected by the spacecraft will be scanned first
‘Is there life on Mars?‘, HeroX and NASA, which brings together creative ideas to better analyze the answers to the question, are organizing a competition. It is claimed that the winner of this competition will be given 30 thousand dollars.
In ancient times, there is a thought that Mars hosted life in terms of the presence of water on its surface. There is no information about whether there is life or whether life lasts until modern times. Despite all this, for a pristine example European Space Agency and NASA working together.
Due to the limited channel of connection from space to earth, there is a thought to gather and extract information before more engineers send the spacecraft. The HeroX page about this problem of scientists makes the following statements.
When scientists on Earth receive sample data from the rover, they must quickly analyze it and make difficult chemistry inferences to prioritize further actions and send those instructions back to the spacecraft.
Application deadline for the competition is April 18.
In addition to all this, HeroX has also published a list of chemical compounds that examine volatile compounds. Thus, from a gas analysis ‘their families‘ models need to be created. He states that the analyzes will be made on analog samples.
Also on the race page, “The winning techniques could be used to help analyze data from Mars and potentially even inform future designs for mission vehicles.” words were included.
HeroX will also share the results with analytical chemists, planetary geologists and many data scientists. Competition deadline 18 April is located as. For more information about the competition, you can click here or on the HeroX competition page.
