Curiosity does not find methane on Mars, "On the planet there is no 'life' - AGI - Journalistic Agency Italy

19:30 September 20, 2013 Into (AGI) – Washington, September 20 – Curiosity did not find any trace of methane in the atmosphere of Mars, raising doubts about the gaseous emissions that even now questioning the scientists. In 2004, three research groups were said to have identified splashes of methane on the Red Planet. Tests conducted by the NASA rover between October and November of 2012, and again in June, they found methane in the Martian atmosphere – or rather, I have found in amount ‘equal to a total of 1.3 ppm (parts per billion), a share much more ‘small than

expected. As you read on Science, this new result suggests that not only the methane is not ‘currently produced in significant amounts’, but it could never have been produced at all. “It ‘a real surprise and a disappointment,” said Chris Webster, manager of Planetary Sciences Instruments Office at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. In the future, other missions will be launched in search of the alleged Martian methane, such as ExoMars, European Space Agency, and that ‘scheduled for 2016, or if the probe of the Indian Space Research Organisation, which is preparing to leave in one or two months. None of these, to date, reached but ‘sensitivity’ of the instruments of Curiosity for hunting methane. Will do Curiosiy ‘other tests in this sense, even more’ accurate, in a few months.
