A Blind Test to test the future ExoMars instruments
Abstract
The future ExoMars mission (2018) to determine habitability and to search for traces of past life on Mars has a payload comprising a complementary variety of instruments. We simulated mission procedure by blind-testing the ExoMars instruments using two unknown terrestrial analogue samples. The data were then then evaluated, also "blind", by geologists. The results demonstrate that the ExoMars instrument suite provides good data.
