The life-maker chip, developed for use in the European ExoMars Mission in 2011 will drill out soil samples to test for specific molecules associated with life. This endeavour was recently awarded and extra 500,000 pounds for research the development purposes to go on top of the existing 1.2 Million pounds that has already been used to develop key instrumentation and technologies for the mission. All in all the life-chip maker should weight no more than 800 grams very similar to the weight of a mobile phone.
