Abstract

The three experimental approaches incorporated into the Viking biology instrument have yielded results that are most readily explained as nonbiological phenomena. The predominant view among investigators trying to simulate the Mars results is that the surface material of Mars contains strongly oxidizing compounds which would account for many of the more intense reactions seen on Mars. Other mechanisms are also currently being proposed and studied.

摘要

海盗号生物仪器所采用的三种实验方法得出的结果，最容易被解释为非生物现象。试图模拟火星实验结果的研究人员中，主流观点是火星的表面物质含有强氧化性化合物，这可以解释在火星上观察到的许多更剧烈的反应。目前也在提出和研究其他机制。
