Agnostic Life Finding Association – MARS
The ALFA Mars community is building an instrument to seek Martians living today.
ALFA Mars is an international group of scientists, engineers, communicators, and volunteers that share the common goal of finding life on Mars before humans land there.
ALFA Mars is supported by the Mars Society.
ALFA Mars is today the only organization worldwide acting to seek an active biosphere on Mars, before human arrive.
ALFA Mars will send an instrument to robotically concentrate and purify genetic polymers, including alien DNA analogues, from the large quantity of Martian water that must be remotely mined before the first crewed mission.
The concentrated genetic polymers will be analyzed on-site using modern analytical instruments.
