Jones,Caroline Freissinet,Laurie A. Leshin,Michael H. Wong,Sushil K. Atreya,James J. Wray,Andrew Steele,A. Buch,B. D. Prats,Cyril Szopa,Pamela G. Conrad,Paul Mahaffy +24 more
TL;DR: The only previous mission that was designed to search for soil nitrates was the Phoenix mission but was unable to detect evolved N-containing species by TEGA and the MECA WCL.

Testing the capabilities of the Mars Organic Molecule Analyser (MOMA) chromatographic columns for the separation of organic compounds on Mars
Melissa Guzman,Cyril Szopa,Cyril Szopa,Caroline Freissinet,Arnaud Buch,Fabien Stalport,Desmond Allen Kaplan,François Raulin +7 more
TL;DR: The Mars Organic Molecule Analyser (MOMA) is an instrument onboard the Rosalind Franklin rover that is scheduled to be launched to Mars in 2022 as part of the ExoMars mission as discussed by the authors.

Science Objectives for Flagship-Class Mission Concepts for the Search for Evidence of Life at Enceladus
Shannon MacKenzie,Marc Neveu,Alfonso F. Davila,Jonathan I. Lunine,Morgan L. Cable,Charity M. Phillips-Lander,Jennifer L. Eigenbrode,J. H. Waite,Kathleen L. Craft,Jason D. Hofgartner,Christopher P. McKay,Christopher R. Glein,Dana L. Burton,Samuel P. Kounaves,Richard A. Mathies,Steve Vance,Michael Malaska,Robert Gold,Christopher R. German,Krista M.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors outline the science motivations for such a successor to Cassini, choosing the primary science goal to be determining whether Enceladus is inhabited and assuming a resource level equivalent to NASA's Flagship-class missions.

Harpold,Jerome Hengemihle,Ferzan Jaeger +24 more
TL;DR: For example, during the first 120 sols of the Curiosity rover landing mission on Mars (8/6/2012 to 12/7/2012), SAM sampled the atmosphere 9 times and an eolian bedform named Rocknest 4 times as mentioned in this paper.
First Detection of Non-Chlorinated Organic Molecules Indigenous to a Martian Sample
Caroline Freissinet,Daniel P. Glavin,Arnaud Buch,Cyril Szopa,Roger E. Summons,Jennifer L. Eigenbrode,P. D. Archer,William B. Brinckerhoff,A. E. Brunner,Michel Cabane,Heather B. Franz,S. Kashyap,Charles Malespin,M. Martin,Maeva Millan,Kenneth G. Miller,Rafael Navarro-González,B. D. Prats,Andrew Steele,Samuel Teinturier,Paul R. Mahaffy +20 more
TL;DR: The Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument onboard Curiosity can perform pyrolysis of martian solid samples, and analyze the volatiles by direct mass spectrometry in evolved gas analysis (EGA) mode, or separate the components in the GCMS mode (coupling the gas chromatograph and the mass spectrumeter instruments).
