Abstract
The utilization of a portable, low-mass, and low-power method for identifying biomarkers is essential for investigations of geologic samples on other terrestrial bodies, where spacecraft engineering requirements frequently constrain the mass and power consumption of scientific instruments. We discuss the capabilities and implementation of several in situ instruments with astrobiological applications to be used in possible future landed missions to other Solar System bodies. We present data collected from each instrument, discuss several analysis techniques, and discuss the unique results each instrument contributes to the identification of biosignatures.
