The search for evidence of past or present life on Mars is a complex and challenging task. Scientists are looking for signs of microbial life, such as microbial fossils or biomarkers, as well as signs of past water on the planet's surface. They are also studying the planet's geology and atmosphere to better understand the conditions that existed on Mars in the past.

While scientists have not yet found definitive evidence of past or present life on Mars, the discoveries made by recent missions have provided new insights into the planet's history and potential habitability. For example, the rover Perseverance has already found indications of ancient lakes and rivers on Mars, which would have been suitable to host microbial life.
