Its purpose is to design an autonomous research probe capable of assessing the potential for life in an unknown environment by analyzing physical and chemical parameters of the atmosphere and surface. Key indicators include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--x-small);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--x-small)\"><strong>Methane
