In 1976 twin Viking spacecraft reached Mars. Each of the Viking landers carried a small laboratory meant to search for life forms. These laboratories tested Mars's air and soil for signs of life. None of these test showed evidence of life.

Who was involved in the Viking mission?
The Viking mission was a pair of spacecraft sent to Mars by NASA in the 1970s. It involved a team of scientists, engineers, and technicians at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in collaboration with other organizations. The spacecraft carried out various experiments on Mars to search for signs of life.
Why were the viking spacecraft sterilized before they were launched?
In order to not contaminate Mars with any possible life forms from Earth. Microbes are very resilient, and theoretically can survive the voyage through space and the conditions on Mars.

What was the mission of the spacecraft viking 1?
NASA's Viking Mission to Mars was composed of two spacecraft, Viking 1 and Viking 2, each consisting of an orbiter and a lander. The primary mission objectives were to obtain high resolution images of the Martian surface, characterize the structure and composition of the atmosphere and surface, and search for evidence of life. Viking 1 was launched on August 20, 1975 and arrived at Mars on June 19, 1976.
What tested the soil of Mars for signs of life?
Mars rovers have tested for a variety of different things on Mars, and wih an array of instruments. The most well known tool used is the Pancam, (a panoramic camera) which allows people to view the surface by means of video. Other instruments include spectromers (instruments that determine the chemical composition of a substance by measuring the intensity of the light it gives off when burned), and drills which allow the rovers to test substances below the surface. Each of these instruments has been... instrumental... in the search for life on Mars.
What does an alien from Mars eat?
Nothing. There is no evidence of life on Mars. Considering that spacecraft from the planet Earth have landed on Mars, we human beings from Earth are the Martians.
