A new NASA laboratory experiment shows that rovers may have to dig roughly 6.6 feet or more under the surface of Mars to find signs of ancient life

NASA lab experiments show that amino acids on Mars' surface would be destroyed by ionizing radiation, so rovers should dig deeper.

A key objective for Perseverance’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life.

In the study, published in the journal Astrobiology, the team mixed several types of amino acids in silica, hydrated silica, or silica and perchlor

Finding signs of past life on Mars may require a little more digging.
