DESCRIPTION:Anton Ivanov\, Space Engineering Center (eSpace)\nPierre Briss
 on\, Mars Society Switzerland\nTo celebrate the launch to Mars of the Trac
 e Gas Orbiter Satellite via the ExoMars programme (launch day March 14th)\
 , the Space Engineering Center (eSpace) invites you to a seminar at the EP
 FL\, with an apero offered by eSpace after the presentation.\nThe main obj
 ective of the Trace Gas Orbiter\, as announced by ESA\, is to search for a
 ny “activity” upon the surface of Mars through the study of its trace 
 gases. By “activity” is understood any biological process or inner the
 rmal/chemical planetary process having an effect upon the atmosphere. The 
 purpose of this presentation will be to draw a general outline of the accu
 mulated knowledge within which this mission is being conducted and to show
  that indeed it is possible that Life existed once on Mars. Alternatively\
 , considering the environmental conditions prevailing along the last 3.5 b
 illion years\, the process of evolution might not have had time to succeed
  in reaching that level of complexity.
