Mars Explorer Extracted

Automatically, at their command the shovel extends and extracts a sample of soil which is placed in an incubation chamber aboard the spacecraft. The soil is kept perfectly dry and is incubated for five days at 50 degrees under an arc lamp that simulates Martian sunlight. A quartz window filtered out ultraviolet light that might have caused spurious signals on radioed commands from Earth the test chamber was filled with Martian atmosphere. Then the experimenters sent up a radio command that added a whiff of radioactive carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to act as tracers in the experiment. On Earth, green plants take in carbon dioxide and if there were life on Mars vapor in the chamber would contain traces of carbon. (55)
