chirality detector heading for Mars
http://www.marsdaily.com/reports/NAS..._Mars_999.html
quote: "Testing for chirality provides an unambiguous way of detecting life," said Bada. "So if we see a significant excess of right-handed amino acids, the only conclusion that's possible is: Eureka! We've detected unique Martian life that's not related to Earth life whatsoever." Funny detail: it will fly on ExoMars and now it is funded (partly) by NASA. AFAIK it will not fly on MSL.
