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.

to see if there was water and any signs of life
How much does it cost to get to mars?
It costs billions of dollars to get to Mars. The high costs include creating a spacecraft to support life on the way there, transporting food and water, and research.
What are three discoveries made by spacecraft that have been sent to study mars?
1. Mars does not have liquid water on its surface 2. Mars does not have intelligent, complex life 3. Mars did have liquid water on its surface at some time in the past
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 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.
