The Atacama rover astrobiology drilling studies (ARADS) project is iteratively developing a simulated Mars rover biomarker-detection mission over four successive field deployments at the Atacama Desert Mars-analog site in 2015-2019. The second ARADS deployment in February 2017 gathered ground-truth samples, studied biomarker distributions, tested an integrated 2 m sampling drill and sample transfer arm on the KREX2 rover, and tested four astrobiology instruments at sites near Yungay Station in the Atacama Desert.
