Ringkasan:
misi berawak masa depan ke Mars akan
sangat bergantung pada pelatihan di situs di bumi yang berfungsi sebagai analog
ke planet merah, seperti Utah Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS), yang
dijalankan oleh Mars Society.

penjelajah Mars di masa depan mungkin
tidak perlu meninggalkan bumi untuk mempersiapkan diri pada kehidupan di Planet Merah. masyarakat Mars telah
membangun sebuah situs penelitian analog di Utah, Amerika Serikat, yang
mensimulasikan kondisi di planet tetangga kita.
Berlatih metode yang diperlukan untuk
mengumpulkan sampel biologis sambil mengenakan pakaian antariksa, sebuah tim
ilmuwan Kanada telah mempelajari flora lokal yang beragam. Seiring dengan
pelajaran bahwa suatu hari akan menjalani hal pertama untuk menaklukkan Mars, para peneliti
menyajikan daftar dari jamur, ganggang,
cyanobacteria, lumut, dan tanaman vaskular dari stasiun dalam publikasi mereka
di jurnal akses terbuka Biodiversity Data Journal.

Terletak di gurun sekitar 9 km di luar
Hanksville, Utah, dan sekitar 10 km jauhnya dari Burpee Dinosaur Quarry, tempat
tidur fosil tulang dari Formasi Jurassic Morrison, Stasiun Penelitian Gurun
Mars (MDRS) dibangun pada tahun 2002. Sejak itu , telah terus dikunjungi oleh
berbagai peneliti, termasuk astrobiologists, ilmuwan tanah, wartawan, insinyur,
dan ahli geologi.
Astrobiology, studi tentang evolusi dan
distribusi kehidupan di seluruh alam semesta, termasuk bumi, adalah bidang yang
semakin diwakili di MDRS. Ada, astrobiologists dapat mengambil keuntungan dari
lingkungan yang ekstrim di sekitar stasiun dan mencari kehidupan seolah-olah
mereka berada di Mars. Untuk mensimulasikan kondisi luar angkasa, para awak
kapal bahkan mengenakan pakaian antariksa yang dirancang khusus sehingga mereka
dapat berlatih aktivitas kerja lapangan standar dengan visi dan gerakan
terbatas.
Dalam penelitian mereka ini, telah
mengidentifikasi dan mencatat 38 jenis tumbuhan vaskular dari 14 keluarga, 13
spesies lumut dari tujuh keluarga, 6 taksa ganggang termasuk baik chlorophytes dan cyanobacteria,
dan satu jamur genus dari stasiun dan daerah sekitarnya. Hidup di lingkungan
yang ekstrim seperti itu, organisme seperti jamur, lumut, ganggang, dan
cyanobacteria adalah kepentingan tertentu untuk astrobiologists sebagai sistem
model dalam pencarian kehidupan di Mars.

Namun, mencatat bahwa masih ada pekerjaan lapangan
akan dieksekusi di lokasi, terutama selama musim semi dan musim panas sehingga
keragaman lokal lengkap daerah dapat ditangkap.
"Sementara checklist kita sekarang
tidak menginventarisasi lengkap dari situs MDRS," mereka menjelaskan,
"dapat berfungsi sebagai referensi lini pertama untuk mengidentifikasi
tumbuhan vaskular dan lumut di MDRS, dan berfungsi sebagai titik awal untuk
flora masa depan dan ekologi yang bekerja di stasiun. "

Remarkably diverse flora in Utah, USA, trains
scientists for future missions on Mars

Summary:
Future manned missions to the Mars will
rely heavily on training at sites here on Earth that serve as analogues to the
red planet, such Utah's Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS), run by the Mars
Society.
.......................
Future Martian explorers might not need
to leave the Earth to prepare themselves for life on the Red Planet. The Mars
Society have built an analogue research site in Utah, USA, which simulates the
conditions on our neighbouring planet.
Practicing the methods needed to collect
biological samples while wearing spacesuits, a team of Canadian scientists have
studied the diverse local flora. Along with the lessons that one day will serve
the first to conquer Mars, the researchers present an annotated checklist of
the fungi, algae, cyanobacteria, lichens, and vascular plants from the station
in their publication in the open-access journal Biodiversity Data
Journal.
Located in the desert approximately 9 km
outside of Hanksville, Utah, and about 10 km away from the Burpee Dinosaur
Quarry, a recently described bone bed from the Jurassic Morrison Formation, the
Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) was constructed in 2002. Since then, it has
been continuously visited by a wide range of researchers, including
astrobiologists, soil scientists, journalists, engineers, and geologists.
Astrobiology, the study of the evolution
and distribution of life throughout the universe, including the Earth, is a
field increasingly represented at the MDRS. There, astrobiologists can take
advantage of the extreme environment surrounding the station and seek life as
if they were on Mars. To simulate the extraterrestrial conditions, the crew
members even wear specially designed spacesuits so that they can practice
standard field work activities with restricted vision and movement.
In their present research, the authors
have identified and recorded 38 vascular plant species from 14 families, 13
lichen species from seven families, 6 algae taxa including both chlorophytes
and cyanobacteria, and one fungal genus from the station and surrounding area.
Living in such extreme environments, organisms such as fungi, lichens, algae,
and cyanobacteria are of particular interest to astrobiologists as model
systems in the search for life on Mars.
However, the authors note that there is
still field work to be executed at the site, especially during the spring and
the summer so that the complete local diversity of the area can be captured.
"While our present checklist is not
an exhaustive inventory of the MDRS site," they explain, "it can
serve as a first-line reference for identifying vascular plants and lichens at
the MDRS, and serves as a starting point for future floristic and ecological work
at the station."
