Description:
The Icebreaker mission proposes to land at the site where the Phoenix mission discovered an environment that is habitable for life in recent times [1], and search for biomarkers of life. The subsurface ice is expected at shallow depth (〈10 cm below the surface)[2]. By drilling up to 1 m depth into the icy material, Icebreaker plans to sample ice that was warm during past high obliquity periods. Samples are analyzed for organics and biomolecules.
