About

The proposed research focuses on traces of life in Mars. This is based on understanding the process of abiotic methane synthesis on Mars. It will combine experimental studies with natural sample investigation and reaction path modeling. The current project is significant to understand and decipher the physicochemical condition during abiotic methane synthesis in Mars

Achievements

The project being undertaken by ISRO in collaboration with academia is directly or indirectly beneficial to the society.
