Biological Oxidant and Life Detection

The Biological Oxidant and Life Detection ( BOLD ) is a concept mission to Mars focused on searching for evidence or biosignatures of microscopic life on Mars . [1] [2] [3] [4] The BOLD mission objective would be to quantify the amount of hydrogen peroxide ( H
2
O
2
) existing in the Martian soil and to test for processes typically associated with life. Six landing packages are projected to impact 'softly' on Mars that include a limited power supply, a set of oxidant and life detection experiments, and a transmitter, which is able to transmit information via an existing Mars orbiter back to Earth. The mission was first proposed in 2012. [5]
