在火星生命探测计划（Exobiology on Mars，ExoMars）的下一代火星探测器上，安装了全套科学探究仪器，包括能让我们直接观测火星表面状况的摄像系统、可从地表以下获取原始土壤样本的钻机，以及用于寻找生命迹象的机载实验室。 这辆火星漫游车以罗莎琳德•富兰克林（Rosalind Franklin）的名字命名，她是著名的英国物理化学家与晶体学家，拍摄辆发现DNA双螺旋结构关键依据的DNA X射线衍射图。作为欧洲空间局（ESA）与俄罗斯航天国家集团公司（Roscosmos）联合开发的ExoMars计划的一部分，在英国斯蒂夫尼奇市的空中客车集团防务及航天公司（Airbus Defence
在这张由美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的卡西尼号（Cassini）探测器于2007年拍摄的图片中，土卫二（Enceladus）的羽状物清晰可见。从卡西尼号的角度看去，月球几乎就在太阳前面。 版权：NASA/喷气推进实验室-加州理工学院（JPL-Caltech） 从土卫二（Enceladus）喷发出的羽状物中发现了新的有机化合物，即氨基酸的成分。这些发现是对NASA卡西尼号任务数据继续进行深入挖掘的结果。 强大的热液喷口将来自土卫二核心的物质向外喷发，这些物质与土卫二巨大的地下海洋中的水混合在一起，并以水蒸气和冰粒的形式被喷射到太空中。新发现的分子凝聚在冰粒上，被确定为是含氮和含氧的化合物。 在
